Decades of field and microscope studies, and more recent
quantitative geochemical analyses have resulted in a vast, and
sometimes overwhelming, array of nomenclature and terminology
associated with igneous rocks. This book presents a complete
classification of igneous rocks based on all the recommendations of
the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) Subcommission
on the Systematics of Igneous Rocks. The glossary of igneous terms
has been fully updated since the first edition and now includes
1637 entries, of which 316 are recommended by the Subcommission.
Incorporating a comprehensive bibliography of source references for
all the terms included in the glossary, this book is an
indispensable reference guide for all geologists studying igneous
rocks, either in the field or the laboratory. It presents a
standardised and widely accepted naming scheme that will allow
geologists to interpret terminology in the primary literature and
provide formal names for rock samples based on petrographic
analyses. It is also supported by a website with downloadable code
for chemical classifications.
