Diagramas de Dickinson

The document contains 4 plots showing different ternary diagrams used to characterize sediment provenance based on quartz, feldspar, lithic fragments, and other mineral compositions. The plots distinguish between sediment derived from various source areas including cratons, recycled orogens, arcs, and other tectonic settings. Dickinson developed these provenance plots in 1985 to help determine the origin of sedimentary rocks.
