These six States produced about 11.3 million tons (12.5 million short tons) or 55% of the total output.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract – Several fossiliferous sites were studied and material of fossil mammals and molluscs was collected in the Gombasek quarry (Rožňava district, Slovakia) since the 1930’s. We have identi- fi ed 9 independent collections of Late Biharian (latest Early to early Middle Pleistocene) mammals and molluscs from this locality. Th e nominal taxon Ursus deningeri gombaszogensis was described by Kretzoi (1938) on the basis of material collected by Tasnádi-Kubacska in the 1930’s. Th e age of this material, based primarily on the similarity with Fejfar’s collection, is supposed to be Late Biharian. Kretzoi (1938) designated as holotype of this taxon an m2 dext. with an original inven- tory number Fa 21. We recommend identifying this specimen with the m2 dext. housed in the collection of Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest) with the inventory number V 59.930. With 2 fi gures and 1 table. Key words – Central Europe, Early/Middle Pleistocene, holotype, Late Biharian, Slovakia, type locality, Ursus deningeri gombaszogensis INTRODUCTION Th e locality name Gombasek (= Gombaszög) is used for a complex of local- ities within the area of Gombasek limestone quarry (nowadays operated by the Carmeuse company) in the Slovak Karst (south-east part of Slovak Republic).

  • Carmeuse Location: Belgium
    BIODIVERSITY CASE STUDY Company: Carmeuse Location: Belgium Objective The recolonisation of Carmeuse quarry sites by the Eurasian Eagle Owl. Context The Eurasian Eagle Owl (bubo bubo) is an impressive species both because of its size (nearly 80 cm tall and weighing 3 kg for the female adult) and its appearance (speckled plumage, large crest, bright orange pupils). It had totally disappeared from our regions after the Second World War and made a timid re- appearance in the eastern part of Belgium in the early 1980s. It appears that these first Eurasian Eagle owls come from Germany and the Central Eastern countries; they then gradually recolonised sites in the south of the country. Solution For several years, Carmeuse Belgium has studied the development of the flora and fauna in its quarries, both in activity and after rehabilitation. Carmeuse is particularly careful to create favourable conditions for the creation of new habitats. The scientists with whom Carmeuse works closely have ringed a number of young owls in order the study the development of the population and to follow the movements of these superb nocturnal raptors. This operation was carried out in partnership with researchers from the Royal Natural Sciences Institute of Belgium, who are very familiar with climbing techniques as well as the very delicate technique of handling these birds. Result The first observation on a Carmeuse site was conducted at the Frasnes quarry in May 1987. Since then, the species has recolonised several quarry sites, including every Carmeuse site in Belgium. Thus in 2008 seven nests were recorded in our Belgian quarries, both active and closed.

Miller, statistical assistant, and the world production table was prepared by Glenn J. Wallace, international data coordinator. In 2005, U.S. production of lime increased slightly, but the kilns, which included 38 plants with collocated hydrating rounded grand total was essentially unchanged at 20.0 million plants. Hydrated lime also was produced at 12 standalone metric tons (Mt) (22.0 million short tons) compared with 2004 hydrating facilities, including 2 plants where the kilns had (table 1). The value of production increased by $130 million been shut down and hydrate was manufactured from quicklime to $1.50 billion as a result of overall price increases of nearly produced offsite. These numbers do not necessarily agree with 9% in 2005. Decreased consumption of quicklime by the steel the number of plants reported in tables 1 and 2 because for industry was balanced by increased consumption of hydrated data collection purposes some company operations (owing to lime in construction markets. their physical proximity to one another) have been combined The term lime as used throughout this chapter refers at the respondent’s request. in a few States with no quicklime primarily to six chemicals produced by the calcination of high- production, hydrating plants used quicklime shipped from other purity calcitic or dolomitic limestone followed by hydration States. There was also a small number of slurry plants where where necessary. There are two high-calcium forms—high- lime was converted to liquid form by the addition of water calcium quicklime (calcium oxide, CaO) and high-calcium prior to sale; this is sometimes called milk-of-lime.
