Articoli correlati a A Practical Guide to Rock Microstructure
Rock microstructures provide clues for the interpretation of rock history. A good understanding of the physical or structural relationships of minerals and rocks is essential for making the most of more detailed chemical and isotopic analyses of minerals. Ron Vernon discusses the basic processes responsible for the wide variety of microstructures in igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic and deformed rocks, using high-quality colour illustrations. He discusses potential complications of interpretation, emphasizing pitfalls, and focussing on the latest techniques and approaches. Opaque minerals (sulphides and oxides) are referred to where appropriate. The comprehensive list of relevant references will be useful for advanced students wishing to delve more deeply into problems of rock microstructure. Senior undergraduate and graduate students of mineralogy, petrology and structural geology will find this book essential reading, and it will also be of interest to students of materials science.

"An excellent compendium of extensively illustrated microstructures representing the full spectrum of rock types...Vernon's in-depth treatment of microstructures is a valuable addition to the applied literature...Essential." M.E. McCallum, emeritus, Colorado State University, CHOICE
Descrizione del libro:
The shapes and arrangements of crystals at a microscopic level constitute a rock's 'microstructure'. This book looks at the processes responsible for a wide variety of microstructures and discusses interpretation, potential pitfalls and the latest techniques. Essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students of petrology and structural geology; also for students of materials science.
