Listed here are links to selected readings about igneous rocks. Most are articles in Elements that are written at a level appropriate for an undergraduate petrology course. Issue links lead to a table of conents for the issue. All Elements articles are available for downloading by MSA members. Some readings are journal articles that are open access or available to MSA members (e.g. American Mineralogist from 2000 to present).
