Now my brain is in gear, ...
When I worked as a geoligist, a lot of us used the AusIMM Field Geologists
Manual as the final word on many topics (most of the time). I am not sure
that it has a preferred vocab as such but it would have to be helpful. If
you don't want to buy one, try a uni library.
AusIMM = Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy
Look at ==>> http://www.ausimm.com.au/ and look for the Publications page.
-------------------------------------
*Monograph 9 - Field Geologists Manual - Fourth Revised Edition*
This publication is at the top of The AusIMM's bestseller list, now in its
4th revised edition the manual continues its run as a highly sought after
comprehensive reference for field geoscience work. It has been especially
popular with students ever since its first publication in 1976.
This edition marks the 25th birthday of the manual. For this review the
value of each section of the manual was assessed and many areas for revision
were identified, revised and modernised including:
· Minerals and Rock Information,
· Geological Mapping,
· Geological Time Scale,
· Abridged Guide to Stratigraphic Nomenclature in Australia,
· Regolith Terminology,
· Commercial Factors for Common Ores,
· Hydrogeology,
· Engineering Geology, and
· Geophysics.
$100.00 hardback
Also available as a CD
