Rite In The Rain 540F Geological (Geologists, Geology)

Cool geological part at the back of book!

Excellent book, smart cover as well.
Good price and quick delivery.
Will definitely buy from Trig instruments again.

I have used these books in a variety of field settings. Rite in the Rain has rarely failed me with their quality, but this model has been more useful to me than most. As a young geologist, my research has already taken me to many different types of research and field locals. There are many field guides and reference books that a person can buy for the field, but it is nice to have the universal reference essentials in the back of a single book that also can house your data. These references include common abbreviations and map symbols that we use, QAPF diagram, sandstone ternary diagrams, comparison charts for sizes and percentages, and sedimentary nomenclature diagrams. Additionally, having the timescale and a photo scale always with you is very handy. More than once I have accidentally left my SEPM or GSA photo scales somewhere and utilised the one in the back of the book. The only change that I personally would have liked to have seen in the book would be to have some of the more common phase diagrams (e.g. feldspars and pyroxenes, etc.). Those would have been useful in the field for my volcanics research.
