M28 CD - A Color Guide to Sandstones Price: $ 24.00 Compiled by Peter A. ScholleAAPG Memoir 28 on CD-ROMProduct Code 877
Product DemographicsPublisher: AAPG/Datapages
Date of Publication: 09/18/2006ISBN Number: 1588612325
Format: Adobe PDFProduct DescriptionA Color Illustrated Guide to Constituents, Textures, Cements, and Porosities of Sandstones and Associated Rocks First published in 1979 as a companion to AAPG Memoir 27 (Color Guide...Carbonate Rocks), this book is a compilation of images that demonstrate important grains, cements, and porosity types for geologists who may not be specialists in the petrography of sandstones and associated sedimentary rocks. Sandstone petrography is of particular interest to the petroleum explorationist for several reasons: 1. It can provide valuable information on the composition of sedimentary rocks. From this, one can draw conclusions about the lithology, climate, and tectonic history of the source area and predict a response of such rock units to a variety of subsurface diagenetic environments. 2. One can acquire data on the grain size, sorting, and rounding of sedimentary grains. This may be the only way to obtain such data, which may be useful in determining transport mechanisms and depositional environment of the sediment. 3. Information can be obtained on the post-depositional alteration history of the rock, including data on compaction, cementation, leaching, fracturing, porosity types, and other factors.

Product DescriptionAAPG offers the beginning student of sedimentary petrology an overview of the major constituents of sandstones as seen, primarily, through the petrographic microscope in this CD-ROM tutorial. The focus is on the practical aspects of constituent identification and interpretation (substituting for laboratory experiences). It is assumed that the student is already familiar with introductory geology, mineralogy, and, to some extent, crystallography, and crystal optics. This tutorial invites you to explore the microscopic realm of sandstones on your own, but to the extent possible in the "company" of a very experienced teaching assistant. The CD-ROM also contains Petrology of Sedimentary Rocksby Robert L. Folk recipient of the "Bronze Award" in the "Teaching with Technology" category of the Innovative Instructional Technology Awards Program (IITAP) organized by the University of Texas

Product DescriptionThis volume expands and improves the AAPG 1978 classic, A Color Illustrated Guide to Carbonate Rock Constituents, Textures, Cements, and Porosities (AAPG Memoir 27). Carbonate petrography can be quite complicated. Changing assemblages of organisms through time, coupled with the randomness of thin-section cuts through complex shell forms, add to the difficulty of identifying skeletal grains. Furthermore, because many primary carbonate grains are composed of unstable minerals (especially aragonite and high-Mg calcite), diagenetic alteration commonly is quite extensive in carbonate rocks. The variability of inorganic and biogenic carbonate mineralogy through time, however, complicates prediction of patterns of diagenetic alteration. This book is designed to help deal with such challenges. It includes a wide variety of examples of commonly encountered skeletal and nonskeletal grains, cements, fabrics, and porosity types. It includes extensive new tables of age distributions, mineralogy, morphologic characteristics, environmental implications and keys to grain identification. It also encompasses a number of noncarbonate grains, that occur as accessory minerals in carbonate rocks or that may provide important biostratigraphic or paleoenvironmental information in carbonate strata. With this guide, students and other workers with little formal petrographic training should be able to examine thin sections or acetate peels under the microscope and interpret the main rock constituents and their depositional and diagenetic history.

The Map That Changed the World (paperback) Price: $ 14.00 ...William Smith and the Birth of Modern GeologyBy Simon WinchesterPublished by HarperCollinsProduct Code 634; List Price: $14AAPG Member Price: $13
Product DemographicsDate of Publication: 07/30/2002
ISBN Number: 0060931809Format: softcover, 5.5 x 8.25 inches, illustrations, some color, indexPages: 329
Product DescriptionThis is the fascinating story of William Smith, the orphaned son of an English country blacksmith, who became obsessed with creating the world's first geological map and ultimately became the father of modern geology. In 1793 William Smith, a canal digger, made a startling discovery that was to turn the fledgling science of the history of the earth, and a central plank of established Christian religion, on its head. He noticed that the rocks he was excavating were arranged in layers; more important, he could see quite clearly that the fossils found in one layer were very different from those found in another. And out of that realization came an epiphany: that by following the fossils, one could trace layers of rocks as they dipped and rose and fell clear across England and, indeed, clear across the world. Determined to publish his profoundly important discovery by creating a map that would display the hidden underside of England, he spent twenty years traveling the length and breadth of the kingdom by stagecoach and on foot, studying rock outcrops and fossils, piecing together the image of this unseen universe. In 1815 he published his epochal and remarkably beautiful hand-painted map, more than eight feet tall and six feet wide. But four years after its triumphant publication, and with his young wife going steadily mad to the point of nymphomania, Smith ended up in debtors' prison, a victim of plagiarism, swindled out of his recognition and his profits. He left London for the north of England and remained homeless for ten long years as he searched for work. It wasn't until 1831, when his employer, a sympathetic nobleman, brought him into contact with the Geological Society of London that at last this quiet genius was showered with the honors long overdue him. "Winchester brings Smith's struggle to life in clear and beautiful language."New York Times Book Review "Smith's unsung life provides the perfect backdrop for yet another entertaining intellectual history."
