Excerpt from An Introduction to Sedimentary Petrography: With Special Reference to Loose Detrital Deposits and Their Correlation by Petrographic Methods
As its title implies, the book is intended to serve simply as a. General introduction to the subject and its applications. A working knowledge of elementary crystallography and optical physics is assumed, this being an essential preliminary to all petrographical studies. In this connexion such standard works as Dana's System of Mineralogy or Iddings' Rock Minerals should, if necessary, be consulted.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive introduction to sedimentary petrography, the study of the composition and origin of sedimentary rocks. The author, a lecturer in petroleum technology, has designed this book to meet the requirements of geologists engaged in the study of microscopic examination of sediments for both academic and economic purposes. It covers the principles and methods involved in correlating sediments by petrographic methods, with special reference to loose detrital deposits and their correlation, the application of sedimentary petrography to certain branches of pure and economic geology, and the gradual evolution of the higher technique involved, highlighting the role played by British geologists in laying the foundations of the subject. It is targeted at those with a working knowledge of elementary crystallography and optical physics, as these are essential for all petrographical studies, yet provides a concise form to a wider audience, indicating both the wider potentialities of the subject and the trend of ultimate inquiries likely to lead to far-reaching results. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
