 CHARLES PALACHE - AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL NOTES
Zirkel had not yet returned from his vacation and my first enrolment was with Credner, Professor of Geology.
Zirkel proved to be very friendly and as Walker and I were his only graduate students we saw a great deal of him.
Zirkel gave me a petrographic problem at once and I did a small research with the microscope and even wrote a short paper on it in German which was published that summer.

 PIONEERING VOLCANOLOGY IN THE WESTERN GREAT BASIN AND CALIFORNIA CASCADES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In the 19th century, pioneering studies of volcanic rocks in the western Great Basin and California Cascades were undertaken by Josiah Whitney, Ferdinand von Richthofen, Clarence King, Ferdinand Zirkel, Israel Russell, Joseph LeConte and J. Diller.
Von Richthofen and King theorized on petrogenesis of magmas to explain what they deemed to be a regular progression of volcanic rock types through time during the Cenozoic Era.
Zirkel was employed by King to undertake petrographic study of rocks collected during his survey, a first application of such techniques in America.

 CHARLES PALACHE - A MEMORIAL WRITTEN BY CLIFFORD FRONDEL
At first Palache’s interests were in field geology and petrography, and with Lawson he did the field work for the first geologic maps of the San Francisco Peninsula and the Berkley area.
In 1894, Palache left for a year of study abroad, first to work under Ferdinand Zirkel at Leipzig, where T. Walker and Bundjiro Koto were fellow students, and then to study with Paul Groth and Ernst Weinschenk at Munich.
Other American students working in Groth’s laboratory at the time were T. Jaggar, A. Peck and A. Eakle.
