Fascinating Book
I am thoroughly impressed by this book. An excellent resource to understand the geology comprising the nickel sulfide deposits in the Sudbury basin. A must read for anyone interested in sulfide deposit geology.

Nickel Sulfide Ores and Impact Melts
Comprehensive review by a former Vale exploration/research geologist. that includes a quite a lot of unpublished data. Figures are not very sharp, but well designed. Very well written.
