Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.

    Memorial to Francis John Turner 1904-1985 L. E. WEISS Department of Geology and Geophysics University of California, Berkeley, California 94720 Francis John Turner, Professor Emeritus of geology at the University of California, Berkeley, died on December 12, 1985, at the age of eighty-one. He was born on April 10, 1904, in Auckland, New Zealand, where he began his career in geology in 1921 at the University of New Zealand. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree, he worked for a short period with the Geological Survey of New Zealand while completing his master’s thesis; then, in 1926. he accepted a lectureship at the University of Otago in Dunedin. During the next twenty years there, his lifelong interest in metamorphic and igneous rocks and processes developed, and he acquired the skills with the petrographic microscope that made him one of the world’s great petrographers. At the University of Otago. Turner devoted much of his time to the study of regions of metamorphic and plutonic rocks in the South Island, some of which—like the remote country surrounding Lake Manapouri in Fiordland—were scarcely accessible and largely unknown. These early field expeditions involved long traverses of rugged mountains and wild rivers, generally on horseback, and gave him a love of nature that stayed with him all his life. Dating from this period in Otago are a large number of detailed publications on the petrology of specific regions. Probably the most important of these is his meticulous study of the Otago schists, a classic analysis of a region of low grade metamorphism that still stands today as one of the best documented in metamorphic petrology.

    Memorial to John Walter Handin 1919-1991 MEL FRIEDMAN Center for Tectonophysics, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843-3113 John Walter Handin, distinguished professor emeritus of geology and geophysics, Texas A&M University, died in Bryan, Texas, on December 18,1991. A native of southern California, John Handin earned his B.A. degree at the University of California at Los Angeles in 1942. He enlisted in the U.S. Army, served in the artillery, and participated in the liberation of Leyte in the Philippines. He left active service with the rank of lieu­ tenant colonel in 1946 and returned to UCLA, where he earned M.A. and Ph.D. degrees (1948, 1949) in geology and where he met and in 1947 married Frances. Although his Ph.D. dissertation was on beach sedimentation in southern California, he spent a year (1949-1950) as a post­ doctoral fellow in the Institute of Geophysics at UCLA. There he met his lifelong friend and mentor David Griggs, and made experimental rock deformation his major scientific interest. John Handin was one of those rare individuals who are able to change the direction of their science. Along with David Griggs and M. King Hubbert, John played a major role in developing the theoretical-experimental-observational approach to structural geology and our understanding of and interest in the mechanical properties of rocks and their application to geological, geo­ physical, and engineering problems. His many achievements include landmark papers on (1) effects of confining pressure, pore fluid pressure, and temperature

    “As a young Girl Scout in Troop 357, I learned many things. I belonged to a great group of young ladies, and I was a part of something great. In 2004, our troop passed a bill that would make Yule marble Colorado's state rock. Here's what I learned: - Road trips with lots of middle school girls is a nightmare. - There are tons of steps involved with passing a bill. - Leslee Randolph has extremely high patience. - Clare Marshall is extremely knowledgeable about all things rock-related. Also, let's see if this sounds familiar to anyone: Colorado has a red official state mineral, rhodochrosite. Colorado has a blue official state gemstone, aquamarine. If the state rock were white, the official geological symbols would be red, white, and blue. Yule marble has been used in many famous buildings and sculptures, including the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Tomb of the Unknowns, Colorado State Capitol building, Chessman Memorial in Denver, Colorado State Museum in Denver, and Denver Court House. - The first major use of the Yule Marble was in the Colorado State Capito l building, in 1895 The most important lesson I learned from all this hard work is you can achieve anything you put your mind to. A group of young girls with the help of a few very strong women were able to pass a bill into law in the state of Colorado. We weren't experienced in the way governments work. We had no idea what we were doing. (The help we received from Senator Betty Boyd was incredible, we wouldn't have been able to do it without her.) I learned to be proud of my accomplishments.

On the other hand, details of management are different on different forests because of local con­ ditions.

The marbles were deformed at 873, 973, and 1073 K at a stress of 305, 222, and 127 MPa, respectively, and a strain rate of 1 0 -4s-1. The microstructure, shape-preferred orientation (SPO), grain aspect ratios, lattice-preferred orientation (LPO), dislocation densities, and grain sizes were compared to the results of other studies on similar carbonates deformed in triaxial loading, torsion, and simple shear.
