This textbook explains the main data gathering techniques used by geologists in the field and the reasons for these, with emphasis throughout on how to make effective field observations and record these in suitable formats. Equal weight is given to assembling field observations from igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock types. There are also substantial chapters on producing a field notebook, collecting structural information, recording fossil data and constructing geological maps. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeological Field Techniques\u003c\/i\u003e is designed for students, amateur enthusiasts and professionals who have a background in geology and wish to collect field data on rocks and geological features.
