What reading level is An Introduction to Geology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Marble is an exceptional case of a completely crystalline rock derived from sediments by dynamic metamorphism, which is not foliated or schistose. This is believed to be due to the capacity of calcite to recrystallize freely after it has been subjected to com- pression and mashing.
The economic value of the marbles makes them largely sought after; in this country they are extensively developed along the Appalachian region, from Vermont to Georgia, in the Rocky Moun- tains, and the Sierra Nevada....
The Ophicalcites are crystalline magnesian limestones and dolo- 2 E Digitized by LiOOQ IC 41 8 MET AMORPHIC ROCKS mites, with varying amounts of included serpentine, which gives them a mottled appearance. They are not thoroughly understood, . and it appears that they may be formed in various ways. Some ophicalcites are almost certainly marbles, in which inclusions of olivine, pyroxene, or hornblende have been formed and afterward altered into serpentine (see p. 19). Others would appear to be broken and fissured serpentines, having the crevices filled up with calcite deposited from solution.
