This volume of Advanced Mineralogy encompasses six different areas
having two features in common: they are related to one of the
largest enterprises of the second half of this century; and
represent the ultimate and final extension of the concept of
mineral matter. - Understanding mineral matter in Space is one of
the principal purposes of cosmic exploration. This includes the
results of compa rative planetology, lunar epopee, sophisticated
meteorite studies (now more than 500 meteorite minerals), discovery
of the interstellar mineral dust forming some 60 trillion of earth
masses in the Galaxy, and terrestrial impact crater studies. It is
possible now to speak of mineralogy of the Universum, and the
mineralogical type of the states of matter in the Universe. Direct
samples of mantle xenoliths and ultrahigh pressure-tem perature
experiments make it possible to consider the mineral ogical
composition of the Earth as a whole, including the upper an lower
mantle and the Earth's core. Deep ocean drilling programs, a
scientific fleet of hundreds of vessels and several submersibles
have brought about great dis coveries in the geology, metalogeny,
and mineralogy of the ocean floor the largest part of the Earth's
surface, in particular revealing new genetic, crystallochemical,
and ore types of min eral formation."
