    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.

The exceptionally rich and variable mineral associations, and the high number of mineral species, make this area one of the most remarkable mineralogical localities on a worldwide scale. The present paper reviews the data on geological setting of the ore district, individual ore deposits and mining history. Horní Slavkov and Krásno were known as a rich source of exquisite quality mineral specimens stored in numerous museum collections throughout Europe. The old museum specimens are often known under the German locality names of Schlaggenwald (= Horní Slavkov) and Schönfeld (=Krásno). The megascopic properties and paragenetic position of selected mineral classics are reviewed which include arsenopyrite, fluorapatite, fluorite, hübnerite, chalcopyrite, carpholite, cassiterite, quartz, molybdenite, rhodochrosite, sphalerite, topaz and scheelite. Key words: Sn-W ores; tin-tungsten mineralization; mining history; ore geology; mineralogy; Slavkovský les; Krásno, Horní Slavkov ore district; Czech Republic.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Quartzite Rocks Transported Long Distances Northwest States and Adjacent Canada
    Part IV Quartzite Rocks Transported Long Distances Northwest States and Adjacent Canada During uplift and erosion of the continents, a wide variety of rocks were eroded by Flood currents rushing off the continents. The softer rocks, like siltstone, sandstone, limestone, basalt, and granite, would be rapidly pulverized during transport. The resistant rocks would be carried down current and quickly rounded. These resistant rocks would became smaller the farther the rocks were transported. If the distance of transport was far enough, however, even resistant rocks would be totally annihilated into fine particles. But before the resistant rocks could be totally pulverized, many of them were deposited on the Earth’s surface, leaving a trail left behind that demonstrates the powerful currents sweep- ing off the continents during the Retreating Stage of the Flood. The finer-grained rocks that were pulverized would sometimes be deposited with the resistant rocks, but much of this sediment would be carried off the continents. If the resistant rock type is unique to a particular area, one can calculate the distance from the point of erosion to the rounded gravel deposits down current to see how far the unique type of rock was transported. We can compare such distances to the drainage pat- tern today to see if modern rivers were responsible for the transport, as mostly claimed within the uniformitarian paradigm. This part will summarize extensive research over about 20 years by Peter Klevberg, John Hergenrather, and myself on the numerous locations where well-rounded quartzite rocks are found on the surface in the northwest states and adjacent Canada.

  • A Systematic Nomenclature for Metamorphic Rocks
    A systematic nomenclature for metamorphic rocks: 1. HOW TO NAME A METAMORPHIC ROCK Recommendations by the IUGS Subcommission on the Systematics of Metamorphic Rocks: Web version 1/4/04.

The Subcommission on the Systematics of Metamorphic Rocks (SCMR) aims to provide systematic schemes for terminology and rock definitions that are widely acceptable and suitable for international use. This first paper explains the basic classification scheme for common metamorphic rocks proposed by the SCMR, and lays out the general principles which were used by the SCMR when defining terms for metamorphic rocks, their features, conditions of formation and processes. Subsequent papers discuss and present more detailed terminology for particular metamorphic rock groups and processes. The SCMR recognises the very wide usage of some rock names (for example, amphibolite, marble, hornfels) and the existence of many name sets related to specific types of metamorphism (for example, high P/T rocks, migmatites, impactites).
