Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Collections of Rocks and Fossils: Belonging to the Geological Survey of Ireland, Arranged in Room III. E. Of the Museum of Science and Art, Dublin Besides a large series of rock-specimens, there is also an important collection of Irish fossils arranged in strati-graphical order. These specimens, as well as the rocks, have been almost entirely collected by the Geological Survey, and are still continually receiving additions. They were originally named by J. W. Salter and W. H. Baily. They comprise also a portion of the famous Port-lock Collection, the rest of which, including the type-specimens, is preserved in the Museum of Practical Geology in London. In the preparation of this Handbook, Mr. McHenry's great local knowledge of Ireland and of Irish geology has been of use on every page. Having chief charge of the fossil collections, he has superintended the labelling, naming, and retableting of the specimens, and has furnished the list of organic remains which were used in drawing up the Palaeontological part of this volume. A large number of the rock-specimens in the old series having been collected by him, he has been able to furnish important information regarding them, and the geology of the districts from which they were obtained. The actual writing of the Handbook has been assigned to Mr. Watts. In addition to the copious materials supplied to him by Mr. McHenry, he has himself furnished many original details regarding the Petrography. He has been under the necessity of carefully analysing the previous literature of Irish geology. Every possible source of information open to him has been made use of, but in a book of this description it is neither possible nor desirable to load the pages with references to authors. It must suffice to make here a general acknowledgment of indebtedness. No fresh work on Irish geology can appear without an expression of special gratitude to three great observers - Griffith, Portlock, and Jukes - whose labours as admirable pioneers and leaders so largely aided the advance of geological science in their time.

Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive reference to 700 minerals, rocks, plants and animal fossils from around the globe and how to identify them, with more than 2000 photographs and illustrations. It is an essential reference book for amateur geologists and palaeontologists, revealing how rocks and fossils form, sites and habitats, classification, and a photographic guide. Extensive illustrated directories feature profiles of over 700 rocks, minerals and plant and animal fossils, describing their qualities and properties, and specification factfiles. It features over 1200 photographs of rocks and fossils for easy identification plus more than 800 artworks, including timescales, structural artworks of rocks and minerals, and reconstructions of fossilized plants and animals. It includes detailed information on safe extraction, home testing techniques, safe cleaning and how to display specimens - all you need to build an impressive collection. Rocks, minerals and fossils have a timeless fascination. This expert book provides a complete reference for anyone interested in the earth sciences. The book's major feature is its two extensive visual directories - one on rocks and minerals and one on fossils - containing over 700 in-depth specimen profiles. Information boxes give facts and figures such as type and location, and artworks and reconstructions show the structure-type of rocks and how each fossil originally looked. It provides all the facts anyone needs about the hugely absorbing subjects of geology and paleontology. This impressive work is beautiful to look at and will engage every reader.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the tremendous growth of population in this and neighboring states, there are more collectors than ever before and with the rapidly escalating prices for mineral and fossil specimens in the retail market, there is a great demand for displayable material. It has become necessary for professional geologists, hobby collectors, and commercial collectors to recognize each others existence and to try to work together within a framework of regulation, courtesy, and common sense so that material of scientific value is not lost and undue restrictions are not placed upon collecting. There is a continuing need for collectors and professionals to work together with resource managers and legislators to develop workable laws and rules affecting the collecting of minerals and fossils. This publication contains details information about collecting areas, divided by county to make for ease of use. Each collecting area contains information about the minerals, rocks, or fossils present, map recommendations, and other helpful tips on getting to the sites.
