MICROSCOPIC PETROGRAPHY

As a complement to the projects we carry out in district and regional geology, stratigraphy and geochronology in volcanic environments, as well as in support of natural resource exploration, we offer detailed microscopic description of fresh and/or hydrothermally altered rocks. We place special emphasis on primary volcanic, subvolcanic and volcaniclastic textures to recognise types of tuffs and breccias, as well as their relevance in controlling hydrothermal fluids.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Sample management for petrography, geochemistry and geochronology studies
