Analyses of Rocks (Classic Reprint): With a Chapter on Analytical Methods, Laboratory of the United States Geological Survey, 1880 to 1896 - Softcover
Synopsis
Unlock the science behind rocks with a comprehensive, century-spanned survey .
This authoritative volume gathers decades of laboratory work from the U.S. Geological Survey to reveal how rock analysis is done and what it shows about Earth's geology.
In the introduction and methods chapters, it explains the analytical approach, sample preparation, and the precise steps used to measure key constituents. The main section compiles rock analyses from across North America and beyond, covering igneous and crystalline rocks, carbonates, sands, clays, and even meteorites to illuminate petrographic relationships and regional geology. It also notes how the survey built and organized its labs, and how results were documented for reliable comparison.What you will find inside:
- Overview of analytical methods and laboratory practices used from 1880–1896
- Systematic rock analyses organized by region and rock type
- Descriptions of minerals, trace constituents, and the quality controls that guided results
- Context about the Geological Survey’s laboratories, personnel, and publication approach
This edition supports a grounded understanding of petrography through concrete data, charts, and regional rock records, making it a valuable reference for those studying the evolution of geological analysis.
