The previous chapters of this book introduced various aspects of recognizing qualitative microfacies criteria and their signifcance, whereas this chapter will treat quantitative criteria. The first part describes selected principles of grain-size analysis and demonstrates the potential of grain size in the context of microfacies studies. The second part deals with methods of frequency analysis and their use in microfacies-based interpretations. The last part discusses the evaluation of microfacies by multivariate statistical analyses.
