Alessandro Da Mommio completed his PhD in geology at the University of Milan in 2015. With a long-standing expertise in petrography since his undergraduate studies, he has developed a distinguished website dedicated to his specialty: the petrography of minerals and rocks. In 2014, one of his images secured second place in the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition. He's currently teaching science and mathematics.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Atlas of Minerals and Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks in Thin-Section provides the geology student and geoscientist with a stunning new color atlas of the main rock-forming minerals and igneous and metamorphic rocks in thin-section. It showcases minerals in various settings and degrees of alteration and preservation to allow users to best identify their own specimens in practice. Chapter 1 highlights the distinctive characteristics used to identify different minerals. Building on this base, following chapters describe rock textures and types, summarizing their petrogenesis within a plate tectonic framework. This book also includes insights into how additional information from petrographic thin-sections can be obtained using modern analytical methods to increase our understanding of geological processes. The Atlas is an indispensable reference textbook for all facilities that use a petrographic microscope, for professional geoscientists, and as an aid for any student studying minerals and rocks.
