Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the development of systematic petrography in the 19th century, a field dedicated to classifying and describing rocks. Before the 19th century, rocks were not distinguished from geological formations and were often described as minerals. This book analyzes systematic propositions for classifying rocks, examining the principles applied in formulating schemes and testing their consistency. The book highlights the challenges faced by early petrographers, who lacked the knowledge and methods to accurately determine the composition of many rocks. The author shows how the development of systematic petrography was influenced by research into the chemical composition and geological occurrence of rocks, as well as by genetic hypotheses. The book concludes by examining the progress made in developing a more comprehensive and logical system of rock classification.
