This chapter is an overview of tools for translating microfacies data into depositional settings. Using case studies of non-marine and marine carbonate rocks, we focus on the diagnostic criteria for recognizing the facies characteristics needed in basin analysis studies. Microfacies is an important element of basin analysis, but must be applied along with all the other field and laboratory observations available for reconstructing depositional conditions. This is exemplified by Fig. 15.1.
