Introduction to Metamorphic Rocks

I am intending to rebuild some introductory metamorphic course materials here.

In the meantime, I have resurrected some legacy materials designed for a first-year Introduction to Metamorphic Rocks course in the late 1990s. They have some rather quaint early-Web features (being designed for primitive browsers, small monitors and dial-up internet connections), but they still work, after a fashion.

• Dalradian Metamorphic Zones: a small atlas of Scottish petrography with assemblage-composition diagrams.
• Metamorphic Microstructures: an atlas of typical textures of mineral growth equilibration and deformation.
• Quizzes: a set of short (5-question) illustrated quizzes dealing with mineral recognition, the facies diagram, rock bulk compositions (ACF), terminology and microstructure.
