This book examines the phenomenon of gas entrapment in rocks, a discovery made possible by microscopical studies and chemical analysis advancements of the late 19th century. The author meticulously details the methods and results of their research on the volumes and compositions of gas found in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, as well as meteorites. They conclude that gas content varies widely, and that while some gases, like carbon dioxide, are more common in certain rock types, the presence of ferromagnesian minerals appears to be a reliable predictor of higher gas volumes.
