  "term": "Lithofacies",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A body of rock characterized by specific lithological attributes, such as rock type, sedimentary structures, color, and fossil content, that reflect a particular depositional environment. Geologists use lithofacies analysis to interpret past environments and predict the distribution of reservoir quality rocks. For example, a fluvial channel lithofacies might consist of coarse-grained sandstone with cross-bedding.",
