Remnants of this once great industry, which existed from approximately 1870 to 1915, are present in the architecture of many unique sandstone buildings in communities throughout the Lake Superior region. Some 32 sandstone quarries were in existence in varying times during this period. History indicates that the first major sandstone quarries that produced commercial grade stone were located in the areas of Marquette and Jacobsville (southeast of Lake Linden). The town of Jacobsville was named after John Henry Jacobs, one of the leading developers of the sandstone industry in the Upper Peninsula. See Figure 1 for an example of a typical sandstone quarry during this time period. The colors were quite exquisite, ranging from a red/white variegated to a deep brown to a bright red. This sought-after stone reached markets throughout the central United States, being incorporated into buildings in Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland. The stone even reached eastern Atlantic ports such as Boston and New York. For a period of time, stone was even shipped to England for use in construction of many important buildings. (For more information on the history of the sandstone industry, see Appendix A – excerpts from Dr. Kathryn Bishop Eckert's report, The Sandstone Architecture Of The Lake Superior Region, 1982.)

For details please go to the Dimension Stone Web page http:/www.deq.state.mi.us/gsd/bstone For many years, quarriers, architects, and builders have been intrigued by the unique architecture of the many sandstone buildings that are scattered throughout the U.P. Especially interesting are the unique carvings and facades that had been created with this highly workable stone. In Recent Years . Enough interest was generated in the past few years in this sandstone that the State of Michigan decided that this valuable resource needed to be re-explored. Not only was the State interested in

    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.

  • Bloomington for the Years 1883, 1887, 1892, 1898, 1907, 1913, 1927, and 1947
    PREFACE TO THE REVISED EDITION It has now been over twenty-seven years since something inspired me to care about how many early limestone mills there were in the Indiana Limestone District and where they were located. Whatever it was, I am glad the spirit moved me and I have been able to preserve a record of their existence. I have now visited or revisited almost all of the one hundred and six mills identified in the original work. The only reason I have to say “almost” is because a few of the sites are now buried under tons of limestone grout piles or are flat open areas where the stone on which the mill previously sat has now been quarried.1 Housing additions and business buildings have made their contribution to obliterating these old mill sites. And while that is as it should be, it makes me happy to have at least in some way preserved the memory of when those once busy businesses were striving to provide the stone to build America. Rather than merely keeping the exact same title of the original work and calling this a revision, for that is what it is, I chose to add “Illustrated” to the title and thus make it have a new, albeit similar, one. There are so many pictures and new maps that a slightly different title seemed justified. The part of the original that is revised is not much in the way of new material but the correction of several errors that I made before. I only wish I could say I have found them all.

  • Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of Archaeology Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey by Donovan William Hawley Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2017 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Archaeology Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey Donovan William Hawley Although prehistoric megalithic monuments dominate the landscape of Guernsey, these have yielded little information concerning the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Early Bronze Age communities who inhabited the island in a broader landscape and maritime context. For this thesis it was therefore considered timely to explore the alternative material culture resource of worked flint and stone archived in the Guernsey museum. Largely ignored in previous archaeological narratives on the island or considered as unreliable data, the argument made in this thesis is for lithics being an ideal resource that, when correctly interrogated, can inform us of past people’s actions in the landscape. In order to maximise the amount of obtainable data, the lithics were subjected to a wide ranging multi-method approach encompassing all stages of the châine opératoire from material acquisition to discard, along with a consideration of the landscape context from which the material was recovered. The methodology also incorporated the extensive corpus of lithic knowledge that has been built up on the adjacent French mainland, a resource largely passed over in previous Channel Island research. By employing this approach, previously unknown patterns of human occupation and activity on the island, and the extent and temporality of maritime connectivity between Guernsey and mainland areas has been revealed.

  • COMPARISON of GRANITE and PRECAST CONCRETE CURBING Cost and Technical Issues
    COMPARISON OF GRANITE AND PRECAST CONCRETE CURBING Cost and Technical Issues MICHAEL SOCK April 1999 Prepared for the Rhode Island Department of Transportation by the Research and Technology Development Section RHODE ISLAND DEPARTME NT OF TRANSPORTATION William D. Ankner , Ph. D., Director James R. Capaldi, P .E., Chief Engineer Colin A. Franco, P.E., Ma naging Engineer, R&TD Executive Summary This study was undertaken to determine the technical and economic feasibility of using granite curbing as an option within the normal practices of highway construction in Rhode Island. Previous studies have been carried out by various entities, including the RIDOT design section. These were reviewed and referenced where appropriate. For this endeavor, the R&TD Section began with a literature search and surveys of states and vendors in their usage of highway curbing. A trip to the Fletcher Granite Quarries in Chelmsford was also undertaken to get a first hand look at the curbing operation and logistics involved in the supply of curbing. Through an interview with Mr. Robert Fruggiero, retired RIDOT Materials Engineer, we learned details about the inception of zero slump concrete curbing. As the technical aspects of granite vs. concrete curbing had been studied and reported on previously, we decided just to overview these and focus our effort on the economics of initial and life cycle costs instead. Needed information was difficult to obtain. However, we did get the same from various sources, such as states, vendors, contractors, and RIDOT records. The life cycle costing was done using conventional formulae, but with three different interest rates.

  • Graveyard Geology
    GRAVEYARD GEOLOGY A Guide to Rocks in Graveyards and Cemeteries Wendy Kirk Department of Earth Sciences, David Cook University College London & Aldersbrook Geological Society London Geodiversity Partnership Introduction Walk around graveyards and cemeteries (in this case, those of London and the southeast of England) and it becomes apparent that, prior to the latter part of the twentieth century, many memorials were made out of just a few different rock types. These were chosen for reasons of appearance, cost, workability and ease of transport to the cemetery, as well as for resistance to weathering and dependence on local regulations. In the last few decades, a range of different, interesting and beautiful stones have appeared, many brought in from abroad, enhancing the diversity of materials used. The intention of this guide is to help a non-specialist identify the main rock types, to recognize some of the varieties and to know where some of these might have come from. Graveyards are a wonderful resource for those with an interest in geology at any level, wildlife, plants, history or sculpture. We hope you gain as much pleasure as we have done. First things first A useful place to start is to be able to distinguish between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from melted rock called magma. If this erupts at the surface, it is called lava. It cools and crystallizes quickly, so the grains are too small to see even with a hand lens (magnifying glass). If the lava erupt explosively to form a spray, the cooled fragments are known as volcanic ash.

  • Cemetery Preservation QUICK TIPS
    Georgia’s State Historic Preservation Office IIIIIICCCeeemmmeeettteeerrryyy PPPrrreeessseeerrrvvvaaatttiiiooonnn QQQUUUIIICCCKKK TTTIIIPPPSSSIIIIII Common Monument and Gravemarker Materials Below are brief descriptions of the most common stones and monument material types found in Georgia. Stones vary in hardness and therefore in their ability to survive satisfactorily outdoors in cemeteries, as well as their ability to withstand cleaning or restoration. The Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness, created in 1812, establishes talc as the softest mineral material and diamond as the hardest. There is no need to determine the exact hardness of a stone you are working on. However, seeing how some common cemetery materials rank on the Mohs Scale can guide your choice of the best methods for working with them: Talc (see "soapstone" below) Marble Sandstone Granite Diamond 1 3-4 5 7-8 10 If identifying the type of stone is difficult, but will be important to a cemetery preservation project, referring to a stone/mineral field guide is recommended, or consulting with a geologist or other expert. Marker Material Descriptions MARBLE Marble has been used for a great many markers in historic cemeteries in Georgia. The state's marble industry dates back to the late 1830s, when outcroppings of surface marble were discovered in north Georgia. Quarrying began, and markers were carved and sold throughout the area. The Georgia marble industry still thrives today. Several different types of stone that can be polished are called marble. A true marble, though, is a metamorphic rock made up of calcium carbonate, traces of silica and iron oxides; it is rather soft and easily carved.
