This book is the long-overdue successor to the 1971 publication The Clay Mineralogy of British Sediments by R. M. S. Perrin, in which several decades of clay mineral research were for the first time collated and discussed within a stratigraphical framework.

The twelve contributors have produced a much more detailed and interpretative account in their ten chapters that are arranged in reverse stratigraphical order. Much use has been made of data from UK hydrocarbon exploration activities that reached their height in the 1980s and 1990s, augmented by academic research studies and government-funded strategic surveys.
