of Carbonate Porosity
Introduction
This page
links has a gallery of diagrams and photomicrographs that track
various carbonate porosity types and some of their geologic controls.
Some of these diagrams were created by Jerry Lucia, and by Choquette
and Pray, are ascribed to their authors. Unless otherwise ascribed
most of the other diagrams and the photomicrographs are the products
of Christopher Kendall.
