Arts, Letters and Science — Geology GEOLOGY Courses of Instruction PS101. Introduction to Geology—The physical features, origin and history of the earth. Not recommended for science majors or those planning to take additional geology. Credit will not be given for both Geology 101 and Geology 111 and 112 or 154. A W S (5) PS111. Physical Geology-The earth, its rocks and minerals, surface and subterranean features, their origin and causes as revealed in land features. Credit not given for both Geology 111, 112 and Geology 101 or 154. Two field trips required. Four lectures per week. Geology 112, Physical Geology laboratory, must be taken concurrently. A W S (4) PS112. Physical Geology Laboratory—Laboratory and field study of minerals, rocks, earth features, and topographic, geologic, and air photo maps. Must accompany Geology 111. A W S (1) PS121. Rocks and Minerals—Sight recognition of the important rock forming and other minerals through class discussion and laboratory work, and the identification of the common rocks of the earth's crust by mineral content, association and occurrence. Field trips are required. Three lectures and one laboratory period a week. A (4) 122. Historical Geology—The history of the earth, from its origin to the present, as interpreted from the rocks and their fossil contents. North America, particularly Utah and the adjacent areas, is emphasized. Two required field trips provide a valuable supplement to class discussion. Four lectures and one laboratory period per week. W S (5) 154. Introductory Engineering Geology—Geological principles and their application to engineering. Credit not given for both Geology 154 and 101 or 111 and 112. It is recommended that chemistry and physics be taken previously or concurrently. Field trips required. Four lectures and one laboratory period a week. W S (5) 204. Mineralogy of Rock Minerals—Fundamentals of crystallography, and the identification and sight recognition of the more important rock minerals by physical and chemical tests. Prerequisites: Geology 111 and 112 or 154 and Chemistry 112 or 122, or permission of the instructor. One lecture and two laboratory periods a week. A (3) Arts, Letters and Science — Geology 205. Mineralogy of Ore Minerals—Identification of important ore minerals. Prerequisite: Geology 204. One lecture and two laboratory periods a week. W (3) 206. Petrology—Sight recognition of rocks and a study of their classification and occurrence. Two lectures and one laboratory period a week. Prerequisite: Geology 204. S (3) 275. Introduction to Oceanography—A study of the physical processes in the oceans, including currents, waves, tides, as well as a study of shoreline and ocean floor features. A (5) 295. Elementary Field Geology—Fundamentals of geology as they are observed in western United States and adjacent areas during a six weeks field trip. (May not be offered) Su (3 or 4) 306. Structural Geology—Structural features of the earth and their origin. Prerequisite: Geology 111 and 112 or 154 or consent of instructor. Three lectures and one laboratory. A (4) PS315. Geomorphology—Land forms and their origin. A S (4) 318. Paleontology—Characteristics of important fossil groups and their geologic distribution. Prerequisites: Geology 111 and 112 or 154 or Zoology 211. Three lectures and one laboratory period a week. A (4) 341.

W (4) 376. Principles of Stratigraphy—A systematic study of the principles and concepts of stratigraphy as well as its application to field geology and paleontology, with emphasis toward application in industry. Three lectures and one laboratory consisting of field work or laboratory assignment per week. Prerequisite: Geology 111, 112, 122 or consent of instructor. A S (4) 385.
