As many of you know, this course is being restructured this year, therefore the schedule below is tentative and subject to change as the term progresses. The first part of the course will cover crystal chemistry, growth, and structure. In the second part we will be studying specific minerals and rocks with emphasis on their formation, texture, and diagnostic properties. The third part of the lab will have an environmental and geochemical focus.
All assignments are due at the beginning of lab on the posted due date.
Late assignments will not be graded.
