A Pictorial Guide to Metamorphic Rocks in the Field by Kurt Hollocher CRC Press | November 2014 | ISBN-10: 1138026301 | True PDF | 326 pages | 40.6 mb This book is an illustrative introduction to metamorphic rocks as seen in the field, designed for advanced high school to graduate-level earth science and geology students to jump-start their observational skills. In addition to photographs of rocks in the field, there are numerous line diagrams and examples of metamorphic features shown in thin section. The thin section photos are all at a scale and in a context that can be related to views seen in the field through a hand lens. About the Author http://i1.rgstatic.net/i/profile/50463542d4a0038ca9_l_e4a31.jpg Kurt T Hollocher is Professor of Geology at Union College B.S. 1978 Antioch College; M.S. 1981, Ph.D. 1985 Geology, University of Massachusetts at Amherst Area of Specialization: Petrology, Geochemistry Works on rocks in the deeply, eroded cores of mountain belts to see what the igneous and metamorphic rocks there can tell us about the tectonic development of the original mountains. Also works on the chemistry of natural surface and ground waters to understand how they formed and to track contaminants, and on dinosaur fossils to better understand the fossilization processes.
