Items related to Geology in the Field
Synopsis
Replaces Compton′s Manual of Field Geology (1962). A guide to advances in the increasingly broad and interpretive discipline of formation mapping theory. Thorough, yet compact enough for use in the field, it consists of brief descriptions of textures and structures useful in interpreting depositional environments, kinds of volcanic activity, and plutonic events and conditions. Included are procedures often reserved for the laboratory or office: staining rocks, correcting orientations of current indicators, constructing profile sections of folds, measuring strains, making photogeologic interpretations, and more. Covers pre–field considerations, methods of observation and measurement, recognition of key geologic features, and preparation of a report. Illustrated with composite drawings. Fourteen appendixes provide systemized data and procedures.

Synopsis
This book presents on information identification and modern classification of rocks, means of recognizing and interpreting primary structures in rocks (which reveal their origin), coverage of engineering geologic maps, and recognition of recently active faults. The book follows the typical sequence of a student's experience in learning field work - starting with the first observation of an outcrop and proceeding to methods of measurement and mapping, ending with a preparation of a full geologic report.
