The study of sedimentary provenance interfaces several of themainstream geological disciplines (mineralogy, geochemistry,geochronology, sedimentology, igneous and metamorphic petrology).Its remit includes the location and nature of sediment sourceareas, the pathways by which sediment is transferred from sourceto basin of deposition, and the factors that influence the compositionof sedimentary rocks (e.g. relief, climate, tectonic setting).Materials subject to study are as diverse as recent muds inthe Mississipi River basin (Potter et al. 1975), Archaean shales(McLennan et al. 1983), and soils on the Moon (Basu et al. 1988).
