A text which aims to help undergraduate students in geology to recognize and interpret metamorphic textures and microstructures in thin-section. For lecturers and postgraduates in geology and petrology, the book provides reference for the interpretation of metamorphic rocks.
Preface Part A Introduction to metamorphism and metamorphic rocks 1 Environments and processes of metamorphism 2 Facies concept and petrogenetic grids 3 Compositional groups of metamorphic rocks Part B Introduction to metamorphic textures and microstructures 4 Layering, banding and fabric development 5 Crystal nucleation and growth 6 Mineral inclusions, intergrowths and coronas 7 Replacement and overgrowth Part C Interrelationships between deformation and metamorphism 8 Deformed rocks and strain-related microstructures 9 Porphyroblast-foliation relationships 10 Shear-sense indicators 11 Veins and fluid inclusions 12 Deciphering polydeformed and polymetamorphosed rocks
