Introduction.
Chapter 1. Complements of cristallography.
Chapter 2. Complements of radiocristallography.
Chapter 3. Geochimistry (including geochronology).
Chapter 4. Descriptive mineralogy (focus on phyllosilicates et zeolites)
Analytical methods, presentation of the results and discussion of main interpretations
Theory + practical works
The evaluation will be a comprehensive written exam combining theoretical and practical questions. The exam will aim to test both the fundamental concepts covered during the theoretical course and their applications in practical situations (problem solving, case analysis, data interpretation, etc.).
