Publisher's Synopsis
The Eruptive Rocks Of Brent Tor And Its Neighborhood is a geological book written by Frank Rutley and first published in 1878. The book provides a detailed description and analysis of the igneous rocks found in the area of Brent Tor, a prominent hill in Devon, England, and its surrounding neighborhood. Rutley examines the different types of rocks found in the area, including basalt, andesite, and rhyolite, and discusses their composition, texture, and formation. He also explores the geological history of the region, including the processes that led to the formation of the rocks and the impact of volcanic activity on the landscape. The book is richly illustrated with diagrams, photographs, and maps, making it a valuable resource for geologists, researchers, and students interested in the geology of the Brent Tor area and the wider field of igneous rocks.Included In Sheet 25 Of The One Inch Map Of The Geological Survey, With Some Introductory Remarks On The Application Of The Microscope To Petrological Research.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
