PETROGRAPHY

OF IGNEOUS
AND METAMORPHIC
ROCKS
Anthony R. Philpotts
Designed for students taking their fii'St course in petrography, this laboratory
manual is a collection of the essential information needed to learn the
techniques of petrography and to apply them to common igneous and
metamorphic rocks. In a single source, it combines-
descriptions of the textures and structures of igneous and metamorphic
rocks.
a compilation of the optical properties of the common rock-forming
minerals.
a treatment of the classification of these particular rocks.
Dealing with the description of rocks and not their origins, the coverage is not
exhaustive and is limited to what students need for an introductory course.
For those with no experience in optical mineralogy, Chapter 2 briefly
introduces the subject. Chapter 3 alphabetically lists the rock-forming
minerals. On the inside front cover a full-color table compiles the most
distinguishing features of these minerals.
Over 2()() illustrations of rock-forming minerals and the textures of rocks are
alphabetically indexed together at the end of !he text. Each of these
illustrations is available in color with commentary on a two-hour video
casseue from the author.
The classification of igneous rocks used in the book is the one proposed by
the International Union of Geological Sciences {IUOS) Subcommission of the
Systematics of Igneous Rocks. A list of commonly used rock names-many
not part of the IUOS classification-is keyed to this classification. Also, the
widely-used lrvioe-Baragar classification of volcanic rocks is included.
