Geo 335 - Geology & Mineral Resources of Texas

Spring Semester, 2008

This site is designed to introduce an upper division course on the Geology and Mineral Resources of Texas to prospective students at the University of Texas at Austin and to provide information of use to current students. GEO 335 is a course in general geologic and resource principles, from the perspective of the approximately 1.5 billion year history recorded in the rocks exposed in Texas. The nature and requirements of the course are provided, along with references to Texas geology and links to other relevant sites.

The course content, and the nature of this website, is constantly being revised; if you have any questions or comments about the course, you may reach me at rkyle@mail.utexas.edu.

To make navigation easy, reduce load time, and allow for future expansion, GEO 335 has been subdivided by topic. Please click on the topic of interest. For example, if you want to find out more information on course requirements, click on the requirements name or granite button.
