    Geological and Soil Evidence : Forensic Applications. (2007)
    Oxford :Taylor & Francis Group,
    Details
    Keywords: Forensic geology. ; Electronic books.
    Description / Table of Contents: Emphasizing the importance of earth science in forensic analyses, this comprehensive book examines the tracing of origin of soil found on a body, the discovery of diatoms in a victim's lungs that indicate immersion in water, and the analysis of dirt for evidence of human contact. It covers particle color and size, along with mineralogical, trace element, and isotope analysis of both the common components of geological evidence; such as rocks, dusts, minerals, spores, and microfossils; as well as anthropogenic particles like pottery. It also explains procedures particular to criminalistic analysis and is enhanced with numerous case studies that tie methods of analysis to specific forensic applications.
