A Pocket Guide to Geological Field Recording
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
This 39 page book provides the geology student and keen amateur with a handy pocket-sized guide for use in the field. The content has been stripped back to the bare essentials in the hope that valuable field time can be devoted to data recording rather than reading. The information provided will allow the reader to collect meaningful data at outcrop, and make provisional identifications of many common lithologies. The book includes a field work code of conduct and equipment checklists, and covers outcrop procedure and the nature of field notes. Illustrated instructions describe the use of the compass-clinometer for measuring strike and dip of surfaces, plunge of linear structures, and trends. Three sections give step-by-step guidelines for the description and identification of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, and includes a page of map and sedimentary log symbols. The descriptors to be applied to folds and faults are extensively illustrated.
