"The Common Rocks and Minerals of Missouri" by W. D. Keller is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. This work serves as a practical guide for residents of Missouri interested in identifying and understanding the various rocks and minerals found in the state, emphasizing their composition, formation, and economic significance. Keller aims to answer common queries about these geological specimens, making the information accessible to individuals without formal geological training. The opening of the guide introduces readers to the purpose of the book, which is to assist Missourians in identifying rocks and minerals collected during outdoor activities. Keller discusses the frequent curiosity surrounding these specimens, highlighting the need for a straightforward resource that provides accurate names, compositions, and uses of the rocks and minerals. He outlines the format of the publication, including a determinative key and descriptive sections, and emphasizes the use of non-technical language to ensure comprehension among the general public. This sets the stage for readers to engage actively with Missouri’s geological heritage, paving the way for further exploration throughout the work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
