Mineralogy
Dexter Perkins et al. · University of North Dakota
Minerals are our planet. They form the Earth and the bedrock that we live on, making up all of Earth’s rocks and sediments, and they are important components in soils. So, they literally are the foundations for our lives. Perhaps because they are ubiquitous, most people don’t even notice them or consider that all rock is made of minerals.

GEL 109: Sediments and Strata (Sumner)
Dawn Sumner · University of California, Davis
My goal for Sediments and Strata is to help you develop the tools that will allow you to observe the important characteristics of sedimentary rocks, understand the processes that produced them, interpret their depositional environments, and recognize the insights they can provide on diverse fields in geology such as tectonics, environmental geology, economic resources, evolution, climate change, etc.
