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 and Mr.
Holt.
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. Given in alternate years with Geology C3.
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.
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 and
Mr. Holt.
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.—Hours by
appointment. Brooks Museum. Adjunct Professor Giles. Given in alternate
years with Geology C6.
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.—Hours by appointment. Brooks Museum. Adjunct Professor
Giles. Given in alternate years with Geology C5.
