Volume 3 of Reviews in Mineralogy provides an up-to-date review of the mineralogy and petrology
of rock-forming opaque oxide minerals. It was the textbook for the short course on rock-forming
oxide minerals sponsored by the Mineralogical Society of America at the Colorado School of
Mines November 5-7 1976. The contributors hope that the work will be valuable not only to
participants in the short course but also to others desiring a modern review of the subject.
