Rod Holcombe text:
Mapping and Structural Geology in Mineral Exploration
This book is distributed via Rod Holcombe's site at: https://www.holcombe.net.au/book.html
Text book
Text aimed at practicing exploration and mining professionals working in folded, sheared, or cleaved terranes, but also including an outline of basic mapping and field procedures applicable to a variety of terranes. It is very much based on Rod Holcombe's personal approach to working with structures in the field, and has evolved out of numerous in-house training sessions within exploration and mining environments. The assumption is that readers already have a geology degree, but may have forgotten, or require revision of, basic structural geology concepts. It has a practical field-based bias up-front, with theory following.
