Describes the methods, procedures, and specialized equipment of field work in geology and includes a guide to making maps of specific areas. A guide to advances in the increasingly broad and interpretive discipline of formation mapping theory. Thorough, yet compact enough for use in the field, it consists of brief descriptions of textures and structures useful in interpreting depositional environments, kinds of volcanic activity, and plutonic events and conditions. Included are procedures often reserved for the laboratory or office: staining rocks, correcting orientations of current indicators, constructing profile sections of folds, measuring strains, making photogeologic interpretations, and more. Covers pre-field considerations, methods of observation and measurement, recognition of key geologic features, and preparation of a report. Illustrated with composite drawings

This is nearly the only, and certainly the best, field manual for geologists. Although it is now almost 50 years old and much of the physical mapping technology has been superseded by GPS and Google Earth, the geologic field skills which are the body of the work are as relevant today as always. This manual is strongly recommended for all geology students and recent graduates.
