| Objectives of the Course | |||||
| To learn the basic knowledge of crystallography, physical and chemical properties of minerals in hand specimens. Emphasize the main characteristics of common minerals as recognized in the field and in the laboratory. To provide knowledge to students about fundamentals of petrography with emphasis on descriptive and systematic aspects . Laboratory work includes description and identification of common igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks mesoscopic scale. Field and laboratory observation aims the identification of above rocks at their natural exposures. | |||||
