ROCKS for GEOL-1040 / 1050
Here are the links to each of the 14 detailed pictures of rocks for Geology 1040 & 1050, courtesy Jeff. I believe there are two sets of rocks pictured for variety. The following links are not as high resolution as the archive below which contains all 14 pictures of the 29 rocks in high-res.
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
Please don't hog all my bandwidth looking at these multiple times. For the best resolution pics, download the archive geol_rocks.zip Also, here is a great help link to UT's Geology 101 Rock & Mineral Identification website, courtesy Professor Tilson.
The pictures are shown in the order of the following chart, courtesy Professor Tilson. Feel free to print this out for reference.
