Guide to Rocks and Minerals of Illinois

The rich prairies that gave the state its nickname are themselves derived from ancient rocks, worn and changed by millions of years of action by weather, water, wind, plants, and animals. Unmeasured depths of rock underlie the prairies, hills, and valleys, and in some parts of the state are exposed in outcrops, canyons, and river valleys. Boulders and gravel brought in by the glaciers thousands of years ago are strewn over many parts of the state. These resources are of great value. Besides the rich agriculture based on the rock-derived soil, much of our industry, manufacturing, and transportation is dependent on rock and mineral materials. Every county in Illinois possesses some rocks and minerals that either are being used or have potential future value. The Illinois State Geological Survey several years ago began to prepare sets of typical rocks and minerals of Illinois for use by the schools and other educational groups in Illinois. This booklet is designed to furnish a brief geological background and explanation of these common Illinois rocks and minerals. It also should be useful to the student or amateur interested in making his own collection. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
