Classification – A Name for Your Sample

There are too many papers that simply conclude that the carbonate rocks of a given study can be arranged according to the classification of one or more authors. All too often these workers have failed to recognize that a classification is simply a tool for organizing information, not the source of a conclusion (Blatt et al. 1972).
