| Sedimentary Petrology (category) | |
|---|---|
| SN | Sedimentary petrology, GeoRef category code 06, is one of thirty categories used to classify documents in GeoRef. Each reference in GeoRef is assigned one or more categories. Categories can be used, in addition to Terms, to refine searches (See List A.). |
