Crystalline Silica, Cristobalite (CAS No
Crystalline Silica, Quartz (CAS No. 14808-60-7) Crystalline Silica, Cristobalite (CAS No. 14464-46-1) Crystalline Silica, Tridymite (CAS No. 15468-32-3) Diatomaceous earth (CAS No. 61790-53-2) This dossier on crystalline silica, quartz, cristobalite and tridymite and diatomaceous earth presents the most critical studies pertinent to the risk assessment of these substances in their use in drilling muds and cement additives. This dossier does not represent an exhaustive or critical review of all available data. The majority of information presented in this dossier was obtained from the ECHA database that provides information on chemicals that have been registered under the EU REACH (ECHA). Where possible, study quality was evaluated using the Klimisch scoring system (Klimisch et al., 1997). For the purpose of this dossier, crystalline silica, quartz (CAS No. 14808-60-7) has been reviewed as representative of crystalline silica cristobalite and tridymite. Crystalline silica, quartz is also considered representative of diatomaceous earth, as they both consist mainly of silicon dioxide. Screening Assessment Conclusion – Crystalline silica, quartz, cristobalite and tridymite and diatomaceous earth are classified as tier 1 chemicals and require a hazard assessment only. 1 BACKGROUND Crystalline silica is a common mineral found in the earth's crust. Materials like sand, stone, concrete and mortar contain crystalline silica. It is also used to make products such as glass, pottery, ceramics, bricks and artificial stone. Silica, in the form of sand, is used as the main ingredient in sand casting for the manufacture of metallic components in engineering and other applications. The high melting point of silica enables it to be used in such applications.

Bedrock Geology Glossary from the Roadside Geology of Minnesota, Richard W
Minnesota Bedrock Geology Glossary From the Roadside Geology of Minnesota, Richard W. Ojakangas Sedimentary Rock Types in Minnesota Rocks that formed from the consolidation of loose sediment Conglomerate: A coarse-grained sedimentary rock composed of pebbles, cobbles, or boul- ders set in a fine-grained matrix of silt and sand. Dolostone: A sedimentary rock composed of the mineral dolomite, a calcium magnesium car- bonate. Graywacke: A sedimentary rock made primarily of mud and sand, often deposited by turbidi- ty currents. Iron-formation: A thinly bedded sedimentary rock containing more than 15 percent iron. Limestone: A sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate. Mudstone: A sedimentary rock composed of mud. Sandstone: A sedimentary rock made primarily of sand. Shale: A deposit of clay, silt, or mud solidified into more or less a solid rock. Siltstone: A sedimentary rock made primarily of sand. Igneous and Volcanic Rock Types in Minnesota Rocks that solidified from cooling of molten magma Basalt: A black or dark grey volcanic rock that consists mainly of microscopic crystals of pla- gioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and perhaps olivine. Diorite: A plutonic igneous rock intermediate in composition between granite and gabbro. Gabbro: A dark igneous rock consisting mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene in crystals large enough to see with a simple magnifier. Gabbro has the same composition as basalt but contains much larger mineral grains because it cooled at depth over a longer period of time. Granite: An igneous rock composed mostly of orthoclase feldspar and quartz in grains large enough to see without using a magnifier. Most granites also contain mica and amphibole Rhyolite: A felsic (light-colored) volcanic rock, the extrusive equivalent of granite.

Part 629 – Glossary of Landform and Geologic Terms
Title 430 – National Soil Survey Handbook Part 629 – Glossary of Landform and Geologic Terms Subpart A – General Information 629.0 Definition and Purpose This glossary provides the NCSS soil survey program, soil scientists, and natural resource specialists with landform, geologic, and related terms and their definitions to— (1) Improve soil landscape description with a standard, single source landform and geologic glossary. (2) Enhance geomorphic content and clarity of soil map unit descriptions by use of accurate, defined terms. (3) Establish consistent geomorphic term usage in soil science and the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS). (4) Provide standard geomorphic definitions for databases and soil survey technical publications. (5) Train soil scientists and related professionals in soils as landscape and geomorphic entities. 629.1 Responsibilities This glossary serves as the official NCSS reference for landform, geologic, and related terms. The staff of the National Soil Survey Center, located in Lincoln, NE, is responsible for maintaining and updating this glossary. Soil Science Division staff and NCSS participants are encouraged to propose additions and changes to the glossary for use in pedon descriptions, soil map unit descriptions, and soil survey publications. The Glossary of Geology (GG, 2005) serves as a major source for many glossary terms. The American Geologic Institute (AGI) granted the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) permission (in letters dated September 11, 1985, and September 22, 1993) to use existing definitions. Sources of, and modifications to, original definitions are explained immediately below. 629.2 Definitions A. Reference Codes Sources from which definitions were taken, whole or in part, are identified by a code (e.g., GG) following each definition.

Geological Field Trip 1 from Opals and Ancient Mountaintops to Ice Age Lakes Guide Written by Dr
1 Geological Field Trip 1 From Opals and Ancient Mountaintops to Ice Age Lakes Guide written by Dr. E.K. Peters WSU Geology Department OVERVIEW: The first portion of the trip is in central Pullman and may be most easily accomplished on foot. It consists of five stops, "A" through "E," and can be done in an hour or two. The rest of the trip requires a vehicle and will take the remainder of a long day. SKETCH MAP OF THE TRIP Start: Kate Webster Physical Science Building, WSU-Pullman Campus, College Avenue Proceed west on the service portion of College Avenue, under the skywalk of Owen Science Library and then onto the regular section of College Avenue. Continue west, going downhill. The steepest portion of College Avenue takes you 2 past engineering buildings on your right and then by WSU's power plant at the bottom of the hill. Stop A: Depending on the season, you may see large piles of bituminous coal at the power plant. Coal is the compressed and compacted remains of ancient plants. You can think of it as fossil plant matter, made mostly of carbon. There are three common grades of coal used in the world: 1. Brown coal or lignite: this is low grade coal. It has abundant nitrogen and sulfur impurities. It therefore does not burn cleanly. The nitrogen and sulfur compounds go up in the smoke and then combine with water droplets in the air to make "acid rain" (small amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids). Lignite (brown coal) is used in China today, but not in the U.S.
