Petrography with Laboratory
Module Laboratory of Petrography

Academic Year 2022/2023 - Teacher: ROSOLINO CIRRINCIONE

Expected Learning Outcomes

Acquisition of the knowledge and advanced capacity of understanding mineralogical-petrographic data and technical language, aimed to the determination of the structural and compositional features of the rocks. Acquisition of the skills necessary for the application of the base knowledge to the identification, classification and characterization of magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentalry rocks.

Detailed Course Content

Hand sample and thin section identification and description of the structural and mineralogical features of the main magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Characterization and classification of the main magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks through the elaboration of structural and mineralogical data. Handling and interpretation of geochemical data aimed to the petrographic characterization of the rocks.
