Full Description
This exam is focused on the identification and significance of mineral assemblages found in metamorphic rocks, examining their formation under varying conditions.
The study of mineral assemblages contributes significantly to our understanding of metamorphic environments and the geological history associated with specific rock formations.
Candidates will be expected to discuss the origins of different minerals and their association with particular metamorphic settings while articulating the relevance of these relationships to broader geological processes.
An emphasis will be placed on recognizing and classifying typical mineral assemblages and understanding the implications for tectonics and metamorphic pathways.
