Description - Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes by Laurence Robb
Introduction to Ore-Forming Processes is the first senior
undergraduate ? postgraduate textbook to focus specifically
on the multiplicity of geological processes that result in the
formation of mineral deposits.
Opens with an overview of magmatic ore-forming processes
Moves systematically through hydrothermal and sedimentary
metallogenic environments, covering as it does the entire gamut of
mineral deposit types, including the fossil fuels and supergene
ores
The final chapter relates metallogeny to global tectonics by
examining the distribution of mineral deposits in space and
time
Boxed examples of world famous ore deposits are featured
throughout providing context and relevance to the process-oriented
descriptions of ore genesis
Brings the discipline of economic geology back into the realm
of conventional mainstream earth science by emphasizing the fact
that mineral deposits are simply one of the many natural wonders of
geological process and evolution.
