Adirondack Igneous Rocks And Their Metamorphism is a geological book authored by Arthur Francis Buddington and published by the Geological Society of America. The book is a memoir that focuses on the study of igneous rocks in the Adirondack Mountains of New York and their metamorphism. The book is divided into six chapters, each of which discusses a specific aspect of the Adirondack igneous rocks and their metamorphism. The first chapter provides an overview of the geology of the Adirondack Mountains and the history of their exploration. The second chapter discusses the petrology and mineralogy of the Adirondack igneous rocks, including their chemical composition, texture, and structure. The third chapter focuses on the metamorphism of the Adirondack igneous rocks, including the processes that led to their transformation and the resulting changes in their mineralogy and texture. The fourth chapter discusses the geochronology of the Adirondack igneous rocks, including the methods used to determine their age and the implications of their age for the geological history of the region. The fifth chapter provides a detailed description of the various types of Adirondack igneous rocks, including their distribution, mineralogy, and texture. The final chapter summarizes the main findings of the book and provides some conclusions about the geological history of the Adirondack Mountains. Overall, Adirondack Igneous Rocks And Their Metamorphism is a comprehensive and detailed study of the geology of the Adirondack Mountains and their igneous rocks. It is an important resource for geologists, researchers, and students interested in the Adirondack Mountains and the geological processes that have shaped them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
