vein, in geology, ore body that is disseminated within definite boundaries in unwanted rock or minerals (gangue). The term, as used by geologists, is nearly synonymous with the term lode, as used by miners. There are two distinct types: fissure veins and ladder veins. Fissure veins, the earliest described bedrock deposits, occupy one or more ...

Figure 3-9 (Marshak & Mitra, p. 51) shows an example in which a dike is seen in a quarry wall, but the wall is not perpendicular to the strike of the dike. The dip that the dike appears to have when measured in the plane of the quarry wall is called the apparent dip. In this section, we will look at three classes of problems concerning apparent ...

3.5 Intrusive Igneous Bodies. In most cases, a body of hot magma is less dense than the rock surrounding it, so it has a tendency to move very slowly up toward the surface. It does so in a few different ways, including filling and widening existing cracks, melting the surrounding rock (called country rock[1]), pushing the rock aside (where it ...

Steam shovels, dump trucks and bulldozers loaded traprock on to trucks that furnished the river side of the dikes around Hartford and trucked rock across CT, New York and Massachusetts. The Quarry operation stopped in 1957, but from 1925-1944 over a million and a half tons of traprock was sold from this Quarry.

In another application, the filter properties of geotextiles are only secondary. In geotextile tubes and containers the geotextile is used as 'wrapping material' to create large units that will not erode during wave attack. The structures with geotextile tubes and containers serve as an alternative for rock based structures.

Decomposed diabasic rock contained scatted seams and veinlets of galena, lead carbonate, and limonite with little mineralization or alteration of the marble walls. The greatest concentration of ore minerals was towards the footwall and the dike rock itself was partially replaced in places (Knopf,1918).
