First he added significantly to the knowledge of volcanic phenomena. secondly in collaboration with Auguste-Michel Lévy he introduced into France the study of rocks by microscopical petrography. The two-volume work Minéralogie micrographique laid the foundation of modern petrography by introducing a classificatory system based on the mineralogical composition, the structure and the chemical composition of volcanic rocks".
