Chemical Analyses of Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks of Denmark, the Faeroes and Greenland. (To and including 1940)

Abstract

The past ten years or so have seen the publication of collections of chemical rock analyses which, as a result of their clear form of set-up, in many ways faciliate the comparative study of the chemistry of the rocks and their mutual relationships. Among these publications there are: P. Niggli, F. De Quervain & R. U. Wintherthalter: Chemismus schweizerischer Gesteine. Bern 1930, and the analyses publish ed by the Geological Survey of Great Brita in: Chemical Analyses of Igneous Rocks, Metamorphic Rocks and Minerals. London 1931. Similar publications are available from two neighbouring countries, i.e. from Sweden: W. Larsson: Chemical Analyses of Swedish Rocks (Bull. Geol. Inst., Uppsala 1932) and from Finland : L. Lokka: Neuere Chemische Analysen von Finnisch en Gesteinen (Bull. Comm. Geol. de Finlande No. 105. Helsingfors 1934).
