Hi Virginia
I support Markos’s recommendation – Powell (1992) has an excellent selection of map-based problems that covers structure contours, drill-hole problems, cross section construction techniques, fault displacement and fold geometry analysis. It is superbly illustrated with line diagrams of conceptual diagrams, hypothetical map scenarios and worked examples. The exercises range in complexity to suit all undergraduate levels.
You might also want to take a look at Rowland, S.M., Duebendorfer, E.M., and Schiefelbein, I.M. 2009. Structural analysis & synthesis: A laboratory course in structural geology (Third edition), Blackwell, 301 pp. This is a clearly written textbook that covers all aspects of the basics in structural geology. There are multiple practical exercises associated with each chapter, and the book contains an accompanying geological map of Middle Earth (Bree Creek Quadrangle) that forms a theme for the map-based problems throughout the book. However, I don’t recognise any part of New Zealand in the map J
Regards,
Nick

Dear Virginia,
I propose you the textbook: Powell, D. 1992. Interpretation of Geological Structures through Maps, Longman, Harlow, 176pp. It is very comprehensive.
However, the correct choice depends on what exactly you would like your students to deal with.
Best regards
Markos

Does anyone care to provide suggestions about good books of exercises I can suggest students seek out to practice structural geometric techniques - cross sections in particular?
