A proposed integrated multi-signature model for peritidal cycles in carbonates (2007)
Journal Article
Spence, G., & Tucker, M. (2007). A proposed integrated multi-signature model for peritidal cycles in carbonates. Journal of Sedimentary Research, 77(10), 797-808. https://doi.org/10.2110/jsr.2007.080

A new integrated multi-signature model for meter-scale peritidal carbonate cycles presented here is relevant to the interpretation of these cycles in the stratigraphic record. Meter-scale shallowing-upward (micro)facies cycles are the most common typ... Read More about A proposed integrated multi-signature model for peritidal cycles in carbonates.

Bacterial fossils and microbial dolomite in Triassic stromatolites (2007)
Journal Article
Perri, E., & Tucker, M. (2007). Bacterial fossils and microbial dolomite in Triassic stromatolites. Geology, 35(3), 207-210. https://doi.org/10.1130/g23354a.1

Triassic stromatolitic dolomite from Italy preserves mineralized bacterial remains, one of the first unequivocal identifications of such structures in the geological record. They consist of empty spheroids 1.0 µm diameter resembling coccoid bacteria,... Read More about Bacterial fossils and microbial dolomite in Triassic stromatolites.

Unravelling the microfacies signatures of parasequences using computer-optimized similarity matrices (2004)
Journal Article
Spence, G., Arnaud-Vanneau, A., Arnaud, H., & Tucker, M. (2004). Unravelling the microfacies signatures of parasequences using computer-optimized similarity matrices. Sedimentology, 51(6), 1243-1271. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-3091.2004.00669.x

The microfacies of a Lower Cretaceous carbonate drillcore from Oman are characterized using optimizing matrices of Jaccard's similarity coefficients of community. Other than systems tract boundaries, there is no obvious evidence of individual paraseq...

The Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction: insights from high-resolution sequence stratigraphy and cyclostratigraphy in South China (2003)
Journal Article
Chen, D., & Tucker, M. (2003). The Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction: insights from high-resolution sequence stratigraphy and cyclostratigraphy in South China. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 193(1), 87-111. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0031-0182%2802%2900716-2

Two sequences (SFr, SFa), each 1–1.2 Myr in duration, are recognised in the strata across the Frasnian–Famennian (F–F) transition both in carbonate platform and interplatform basinal successions in South China. The sequence boundary between the two s... Read More about The Frasnian-Famennian mass extinction: insights from high-resolution sequence stratigraphy and cyclostratigraphy in South China.

Carbon isotope excursions and sea-level change: Implications for the Frasnian-Famennian biotic crisis (2002)
Journal Article
Chen, D., Tucker, M., Shen, Y., Yans, J., & Preat, A. (2002). Carbon isotope excursions and sea-level change: Implications for the Frasnian-Famennian biotic crisis. Journal of the Geological Society, 159(6), 623-626. https://doi.org/10.1144/0016-764902-027

New carbon and oxygen isotope data from carbonates spanning the Frasnian–Famennian (F–F) boundary in the Guilin area, South China, show a broad positive 13C rise and fall, with sharp, short-lived negative 13C events; this pattern is comparable to tha...

Sedimentary Petrology: an Introduction to the Origin of Sedimentary Rocks. (2001)
Book
Tucker, M. (2001). Sedimentary Petrology: an Introduction to the Origin of Sedimentary Rocks. (3rd ed.). Wiley

The earlier editions of this book have been used by successive generations of students for more than 20 years, and it is the standard text on the subject in most British universities and many others throughout the world. The study of sediments and se... Read More about Sedimentary Petrology: an Introduction to the Origin of Sedimentary Rocks..
