Long description:
The Atlas of Minerals and Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks in Thin-Section provides the geology student and geoscientist with a stunning new color atlas of the main rock-forming minerals and igneous and metamorphic rocks in thin-section. It showcases minerals in various settings and degrees of alteration and preservation to allow users to best identify their own specimens in practice. Chapter 1 highlights the distinctive characteristics used to identify different minerals. Building on this base, following chapters describe rock textures and types, summarizing their petrogenesis within a plate tectonic framework. This book also includes insights into how additional information from petrographic thin-sections can be obtained using modern analytical methods to increase our understanding of geological processes. The Atlas is an indispensable reference textbook for all facilities that use a petrographic microscope, for professional geoscientists, and as an aid for any student studying minerals and rocks.
Table of Contents:
Preface; List of information boxes; List of application highlights; 1. Rock-forming minerals; 2. Igneous rocks; 3. Metamorphic rocks - their textures and fabrics; Index.
