What is Mineral Identification and Rock Classification about?

This document provides instructions for classifying an unknown rock sample based on its mineral composition and plotting it on a QAP ternary diagram. The student is expected to identify the minerals present, estimate their abundances, and report the rock name based on its position on the diagram. Plagioclase, quartz, biotite, pyroxene, olivine, and oxides are listed as potential minerals present in the sample. Tables are provided to estimate mineral abundances and recalculate them to a total of 100%.
