Petrology: Society for Organic Petrology
Organic Petrology is the branch of earth science dealing with the origin, occurrence, structure, and history of sedimentary organic matter (OM). Petrology is broader in scope than petrography, which is concerned mostly with the description and classification of sedimentary OM. Thus, organic petrology, broadly defined, includes virtually all aspects of OM-bearing rocks, and encompasses all possible analytical methods. The fields of organic petrology and organic geochemistry are covered in these general reference works.

Petrology: Metamorphic Petrology
This page contains annotated links to material about metamorphic rocks, migmatites and granitoid rocks, and related areas of "hard-rock" geology. Volcanoes capture the public imagination, but other areas of petrology are under-represented on the Web, and resource indexes rarely give petrology its own section. I hope this page will help to draw some of the existing resources together.

Petrology: Structural Geology and Metamorphic
In order to decipher the histories of orogenic events, the researcher must understand structural and metamorphic textures on all scales, and the processes responsible for their development.
