Page 200 - Portland cement. — Portland cement is produced by burning a finely ground artificial mixture containing essentially lime, silica, alumina, and iron oxide in certain definite proportions. Usually this combination is made by mixing limestone or marl with clay or shale, in which case the mixture should contain about three parts of the lime carbonate to one part of the clayey materials.

Page 68 - In other words, the inland rocks were then above the zone of deep-seated metamorphism or rock flowage and were therefore profoundly affected by the invading intrusives and accompanying pneumatolytic solutions. Furthermore, the mineral-bearing solutions emanating from the granite encountered new conditions of temperature and pressure on entering the adjacent sedimentary rocks and deposited, as supersaturated solutions in their new environment, a portion of their dissolved contents, especially the...
Page 68 - Well-defined ore bodies have been found near the granite contact. The geologic interpretation of these data indicates clearly that the rocks east of the massifs were less deeply buried at the time of intrusion than those on the coastal side. In other words, the inland rocks were then above the zone of deep-seated metamorphism or rock flowage and were therefore profoundly affected by the invading intrusives and accompanying pneumatolytic solutions.
