    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Genuine Marble and Granite. the Natural Choice
    Genuine Marble and Granite. The Natural Choice. Genuine granite and marble are the natural choice for individuals who desire something really unique in countertops, vanity tops, showers, floors and other elements of the home. When you choose natural stone, you are assured that no other home in the world will have stone that is an exact duplicate. Don’t settle for anything less. Natural stone is durable, beautiful, easy to maintain, and will last a lifetime. Whether you are building a new home or remodeling an older one, natural stone is… The Natural Choice! M S International, Inc. Premium Natural Stones TM www.msistone.com Genuine Marble & Granite • Classic Beauty! What Makes Natural Marble and Granite Different? In a word, time. It takes millions, if not billions of years for Mother Nature to create natural stone. There are many factors that affect the ultimate graining and coloration of natural stone. They include underground springs, mineral deposits, earth shifts, temperature, natural solutions in the earth, and the pressure exerted on these elements over time. There is no way to duplicate these factors in a laboratory or manufacturing environment. Because of the vast differences in the conditions that created the stone, every block extracted from the earth is different. The hand of man has played no role in the process. Even after the stone has been removed from the quarry, there is little human intervention, except for cutting and polishing (which brings out all the uniqueness and natural beauty); nothing is done to alter the natural state of the stone. That’s why the number of different colors and patterns of natural stone is limitless.

  • Natural Stone Slate Tile Installation Manual Setting
    Natural Stone Slate Tile Installation Manual The following procedure for the installation of Natural Stone Slate Tile (Gauged Back) for Flooring It may be used over any wood and cement floor that is structurally sound and dry. In new home construction where plywood is used as a sub floor, it is suggested that an underlayment or backer board needs to attached to the sub floor to insure rigidity where slate floors will be installed. Setting 1. Clean area where slate is to be installed. In the case of smooth painted or varnished floors, it is necessary to sand with very coarse sand paper to assure a good mastic bond. 2. Lay out the slate to understand pattern choices. For multi color slates, blend tile randomly to give proper blend of colors as slate color vary from tile to tile. 3. Using a notched 1/4" x 1/4" trowel, hold at a 45 degree angle to be sure a full ridge is made with the notches. Spread thinset on floor starting ar a far corner so you can back out of the room as you proceed. Spread just enough area so you can reach over it to place the slate. Natural cleft slates have a thickness variation. Spread a good amount of thinset on the floor to make up for any thickness variation. Adding or taking away thinset will ensure that all the tiles are evenly set. 4. Maintain a grout space between the pieces as recommended by the slate supplier (1/4" or 3/8") depending on the sizes of the tiles.

  • Field Stone Quarrying
    Field Stone Quarrying The depression in front of you contains the remains of a field stone quarrying site. The early settlers of this area typically used existing field stones to build rock walls, dry laid foundations for buildings, and small mill dams. When the rocks were too large to move, or for their intended use, they were split using hand tools. The usual splitting process used a series of wedges along the intended crack direction. The wedges were typically fashioned of steel by a blacksmith who then hardened them through quenching and tempering. Steel was expensive at the time but the typical wrought iron that a blacksmith used was much too soft to serve as a rock splitting wedge. The wedges were of two types, those to be used in rectangular holes and those for round holes. Rectangular holes were made in the rock using a cape chisel and cylindrical holes made with a plug or a star drill. The cape chisel was pounded with a hammer to create a rectangular hole. The plug drill (2 cutting edges) or star drill (4 cutting edges) were rotated slightly between each hammer blow to break up a new surface at the bottom of the hole. During the process, the drill was pulled out and the hole was cleared of rock Top to bottom: Cape chisel, plug drill, star drill. dust, typically by blowing through a small tube inserted in the hole. In the case of the round hole, the wedge was inserted between two semi-cylindrical tapered inverted wedges (“feathers”) in a hole drilled by hand in the rock.
