Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rock Minerals: Heir Chemical and Physical Characters and Their Determination in Thin Sections The term Rock Minerals is sufficiently indefinite to permit of con siderable latitude in the choice of minerals to be included by it. Besides those that constitute the mass of any rock there are the less abundant though common kinds, as well as Occasional, exceptional, ones. In any case the mineral may be an original constituent of the rock or one that has been developed in it subsequent to its formation. Rock Minerals, therefore, embrace not only all primary minerals, but all those of secondary origin produced by any manner of alteration of previously existing minerals. Among such secondary minerals are some that are better known as fillings of cavities and veins in rocks than as rock constituents, such as the zeolites. These, how ever, also occur as replacements of primary crystals within the body of rocks, and so constitute rock minerals in a narrower sense. The term becomes somewhat more comprehensive when it is applied to minerals formed in pegmatite veins, which are undoubtedly rocks of intrusive, igneous, origin, for there are many uncommon minerals well developed in such veins that are not known to crystallize within the main mass Of larger rock bodies. However, it is customary to exclude certain classes of veins of minerals, such as ore veins, from the category of rocks, though their mode of formation in some instances is the same as that of many kinds of secondary rock minerals, and their study by petrographical methods in thin sections has been undertaken more or less systematically by several investigators. The inclusion of such vein minerals within the field of the petrographer would place almost the whole range of mineralogy before him and cause a distinction between the petrographer and mineralogist to consist, as it virtually does at present, in the objects and methods of research rather than in the materials investigated.

Download or read book An Introduction to the Rock forming Minerals written by William Alexander Deer and published by Mineralogical Society. This book was released on 2013 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this edition, most of the commonly occurring minerals of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are discussed in terms of structure, chemistry, optical and other physical properties, distinguishing features and paragenesis. Important correlations between these aspects of mineralogy are emphasized wherever possible. The content of each section has been updated where needed in the light of published research over the 21 years between editions. Tables of over 200 chemical analyses and formulae are included and a number of older entries have been replaced by more recent examples. Major new features: Entirely new views of crystal structures in perspective using CrystalMaker colour images; Over 60 colour photographs of minerals in thin sections of rocks under the petrological microscope; Considerably expanded treatment of feldspar and zeolite minerals; Mineral identification table based on birefringence and listing other properties; Colour strip with appropriate interference colours and birefringences for the main rock-forming minerals. This book will be useful to undergraduate students of mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry, especially those at third or fourth year, engaged in more advanced courses or specialized projects, and also as a reference work for students for 'Masters' degrees by taught courses or research. For doctorate students, and research workers in the Earth Sciences as well as those in Materials Science and other related disciplines, this work can be useful as a condensed version of the very extensive treatment presented in the volumes of the DHZ Series 'Rock-Forming Minerals', second edition. Buyers through online retailers should contact the Mineralogical Society in order to receive the free CD which goes with the book ([email protected]).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Archibald Liversidge first arrived at Sydney University in 1872 as reader in geology and assistant in the laboratory he had about ten students and two rooms in the main building. In 1874 he became professor of geology and mineralogy and by 1879 he had persuaded the senate to open a faculty of science. He became its first dean in 1882. Liversidge also played a major role in the setting up of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science which held its first congress in 1888. For anyone interested in Archibald Liversidge, his contribution to crystallography, mineral chemistry, chemical geology, strategic minerals policy and a wider field of colonial science.
