Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LEVY, AUGUSTE MICHEL (1844 ) ,
French
  geologist, was born in Paris on the 7th of August 1844. He became inspector-general of mines, and director of the
Geological
  Survey of
France
 . He was distinguished for his researches on eruptive rocks, their microscopic structure and origin; and he early employed the polarizing microscope for the determination of minerals. In his many contributions to scientific
journals
  he described the
granulite
  group, and dealt with pegmatites, variolites, eurites, the ophites of the
Pyrenees
 , the
extinct
  volcanoes of Central
France
 , gneisses, and the origin of crystalline schists.
He wrote Structures et
classification
  des roches cruptives (1889), but his more elaborate studies were carried on with F.
Fouque
 . Together they wrote on the artificial production of felspar, nepheline and other minerals, and also of meteorites, and produced Mineralogie micrographique (1879) and Synthese des mineraux et des roches (1882).
Levy
  also collaborated with A. Lacroix in Les Mineraux des roches (1888) and Tableau des mineraux des roches (1889).
