	Marble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Elgin Marbles are marble sculptures taken from the Parthenon to Britain by the Earl of Elgin.
		Marble is a metamorphic rock resulting from regional or at times contact metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, either limestone or dolostone.
		The characteristic swirls and veins of many colored marble varieties are usually due to various mineral impurities such as clay, silt, sand, iron oxides, or chert which were originally present as grains or layers in the limestone.

		White marble is one of the most common rocks in our neighborhood, because people buy it by the bag to decorate their gardens and walkways.
		Marble is made mostly of the mineral calcite, so it bubbles gently when you put a drop of white vinegar on it.
		Marble is sometimes classified as a meta-sedimentary rock, because the original rock (limestone) was a sedimentary rock.

		Christened as Marble rocks, based on the marble rock faces that form these gorges, they are located in Bhedaghat, a 45-minute drive from Jabalpur via Garha in Madhya Pradesh.
		Initially the rocks are spread over like patches of dried algae and as the river closes in, they get steeper.
		The marble rocks are a chaotic montage of saccharin limestone, faded blue and green volcanic rock, blended with marble.

		They include a marble, which marks the location of a shallow beach platform similar, perhaps, to the modern day Bahamas, a thin sequence of rocks that were originally basalt lavas and then a thick sequence of sediments deposited in lagoons and as beach sands.
		Rocks that contain such large crystals are called "pegmatites." One such pegmatite, which occurs toward the east end of the road-cut, is known locally as the "Riebeckite Dike." It contains spectacular crystals of a fl colored mineral called Riebeckite (a member of the amphibole mineral family).
		Rocks of the Thunderbird Group, which is approximately 3,000 ft thick, are easily studied by walking back down the length of the Smugglers Pass road-cut.

		Marble-like rocks known as hematite concretions litter the surface of Navajo sandstone at Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah.
		The round rocks are found in southern Utah in Zion and Capitol Reef national parks, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Snow Canyon State Park and the Moab area.
		A major difference is that the Martian “blueberries” probably are pure hematite – a form of iron oxide that is gray because it has a larger crystal structure than the reddish form of iron oxide, commonly known as rust.

	Mimetoliths by R. V. Dietrich
		Two cautions: 1.The term mimetolith should not be applied to terranes and exposures or to rocks and minerals strictly on the basis of such characteristics as their color, how they feel or smell, or any sound they emit when, for example, they are hit with another object or wind blows across or through them.
		It also seems noteworthy that another rock with the general shape of the lower peninsula of Michigan, which is now adorned with painted-on features and places, that was found by Harry Diehl in Broomfield Township, Isabella County, Michigan is illustrated and described by Razenberger (2005).
		In the latter, several rocks and minerals that resemble well-known foods are shown, but several have had their shapes modified so should not be considered to be mimetoliths per se.

	Birdseye Marble - Utah Geological Survey
		This lake deposited a sequence of sediments that formed rocks known as the Flagstaff Formation.
		Although these rocks are technically a limestone, the building stone industry has termed this deposit a "marble." The rocks are rich in algal ball structures commonly known as "birdseyes." These birdseye features were formed by algae that grew around snail shells, twigs, or other debris.
