- CONTRIBUTIONS TO MINERALOGY AND PETROLOGY provides in-depth technical coverage of the mineralogy and petrology of all major rock types. Related areas such as isotope geology and element partitioning are also featured. There is a heavy emphasis on geochemistry and many of the articles consist of theoretical and experimental work such as determining mineral phase relations and chemical equilibria. For those papers that are site-specific, each volume also features a handy location index (Katz).
