Individual chapters of the overview and exercises sections from this lab manual can be downloaded from the links below. You can also read them online, scroll down on the front page of this online open textbook and select the chapter overview or exercises you would like to read. The exercise sections are the important parts for USask GEOL 121 labs this semester, and they are available in a package at the bookstore for you to print for labs.
USask Bookstore price: $15 + tax (January 2020)
There are images in the later labs (Chapter 6, 7, 8, 9) that will not print properly to scale from the web page, so it is best to buy a copy from the bookstore to ensure you have the resources you need for those labs.
