University of Virginia Library

For Undergraduates and Graduates.

Geology C1: Petrology: Geology B3 prerequisite.—(a) Physical Crystallography.
Determination of minerals and rocks in thin sections under
the microscope. Optical and microscopical mineralogy, with especial reference
to the behavior of minerals as constituents of rock masses. (b) Petrography.
The microscopic structure, mineralogical composition, genetic
relations, and distribution of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.
—Lectures and laboratory work to the amount of 12 hours a week throughout
the year, by appointment. Brooks Museum. Professor Watson, Mr.
Garrett.

Geology C2: Geology of Ore Deposits: Geology B1 prerequisite, and
Geology C1 in addition recommended.—The origin, nature, distribution, and uses
of the metallic products, with especial reference to those of the United
States.— Lectures, collateral reading, laboratory and field work, to the
amount of 12 hours per week throughout the year. Hours by appointment.
Brooks Museum. Professor Watson.

Geology C3: Geology of the Nonmetallic Minerals: Geology B1 prerequisite,
and Geology C1 in addition recommended.—The origin, nature, distribution,
and uses of the nonmetallic products, with especial reference to those
of the United States.—Lectures, collateral reading, laboratory and field
work, to the amount of 12 hours per week throughout the year, by appointment.
Professor Watson. Given in alternate years with Geology C2.
Omitted in 1917-1918.

Geology C4: Geological Field Methods: Geology B1 prerequisite, and
Geology C1 in addition recommended.—Special course for students in geology
and engineering, designed to familiarize the student with the methods
employed and the instruments used in making topographic and geologic
maps. The structural relationships of rocks and the proper cartographic
representation of these occurrences in nature are especially emphasized.
Lectures and field work.—Hours by appointment. Brooks Museum. Adjunct
Professor Giles.

Geology C5: Structural Geology: Geology B1 or B2, and Geology B3
prerequisite, and Geology C2 and C4 in addition recommended.—The causes,
manifestations, and recognition of the evidence of various types of earth
movements, and of the relation of topography to structure. Special emphasis
is given to the regional and structural geology of the Atlantic States.—
Lectures, collateral reading, preparation of papers, laboratory and field
work to the amount of 12 lecture hours per week throughout the year, by
appointment. Brooks Museum. Adjunct Professor Giles. Given in alternate
years with Geology C6. Omitted in 1917-1918.

Geology C6: Invertebrate Paleontology: Geology B1 and one elementary
course in zoölogy, prerequisite.—Invertebrate fossils, their identification,
classification, and geologic and geographic distribution. The application
of fossils to stratigraphic and other geologic investigations will receive
constant emphasis. The student will be required to make collections in the
field and to prepare, identify, and classify the material.—Lectures, collateral
reading, laboratory and field work to the amount of 12 hours per
week throughout the year, by appointment. Brooks Museum. Adjunct
Professor Giles.
