Atlas of Minerals and Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks in Thin-Section by Alessandro Da Mommio & Victoria Pease, 2025

Provides the geology student and geoscientist with a stunning new color atlas of the main rock-forming minerals and igneous and metamorphic rocks in thin-section. It showcases minerals in various settings and degrees of alteration and preservation to allow users to best identify their own specimens in practice.

Chapter 1 highlights the distinctive characteristics used to identify different minerals. Building on this base, following chapters describe rock textures and types, summarizing their petrogenesis within a plate tectonic framework. This book also includes insights into how additional information from petrographic thin-sections can be obtained using modern analytical methods to increase our understanding of geological processes. The Atlas is an indispensable reference textbook for all facilities that use a petrographic microscope, for professional geoscientists, and as an aid for any student studying minerals and rocks.

Empty / Vuoto for #windowfriday and #fotovorschlag "Fels and Stein" / "Rocks and Stones"

This house at home in Ireland likely abandoned during "The Great Famine". (1845-1852). During that time roughly 1 million people died and 2 million emigrated. In the first nine months of 1847 - 822,681 gallons of butter were exported to England.

This photo shows a section of a weathered stone wall against a bright blue sky. The wall is made of rough, irregularly shaped stones, many showing signs of age and discoloration. Patches of orange lichen are visible on some of the stones. A small, dark opening, a window, is visible in the center of the wall.

Pointe du Diben
Die Nordküste der Bretagne ist reich an beeindruckenden Stein- und Felsformationen. Diese an der Pointe du Diben gefällt mir besonders gut. Vor der Weiterreise am Morgen bin ich nochmal hingefahren, weil die Stimmung und das Wetter vielversprechend waren. Nach einigem herumklettern und suchen von schönen Perspektiven war ich schon auf dem Rückweg, als sich plötzlich dieser Regenbogen zeigte. Da kam Hektik auf, einerseits weil ich nicht darauf gefasst war und andererseits weil es zu regnen begann und sich Regentropfen auf der Linse sammelten. In der Eile fand ich auch kein geeignetes Wischtuch und versuchte mich mit den Kleidern zu behelfen. Es war zum Verzweifeln. Mit dem Ergebnis bin ich aber nun doch recht zufrieden.
Das Segelboot und den Regenbogen hatte ich nicht gleichzeitig im Kasten; da habe ich zwei Bilder kombiniert.

Another shot from Pemaquid Point Lighthouse park in Bristol, Maine. I suppose the door on this little outbuilding can count for #Doorsday. Regretfully, I can’t remember what this building was used for back in the days before the lighthouse was automated, possible for the storage of lamp oil.

A digital photograph of a small red brick building with white trim and a shingle roof. The building is built on the rocks at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse and may have been used for storage of lamp oil back in the day though I’m not positive. In the foreground there are slabs of rock with bright yellow lichen growing on them and a gnarled spruce tree in the righthand side of the frame. In the background the rocks descend down to the shoreline of the gulf of Maine and there is a point of land in the distance. The day is hazy; the horizon line is obscured and the sky appears white.
