	Portland Stone
		Portland Stone is limestone from the Jurassic period quarried on the Isle of Portland, Dorset.
		Three main "Portland Beds" are quarried, producing a number of different stones.
		The Base and Whitbed beds are fine textured and contain few fossil remains, and so are popular for high quality work.

	Artist's View of Portland Quarries and Stone
		The piling up of solid block on top of solid block expresses and demonstrates a sense of gravity, which we understand through our bodies, and tends to be more legible and understandable.
		The stone carries with it a strong sense of its origins, and to carve it is to be (consciously or not) in touch with the idea of transformation - liquid to solid, to hot to cold, dark to light, soft to hard, small to large, life to death.
		The sculpture park and stone carving and sculpture workshops in Tout Quarry are courtesy of landowners Hanson Bath and Portland Stone and leaseholders Portland Town Council.

	Quarrying Info
		At the top of the Portland freestone series is the roach (1m) this is an oolitic limestone full of shell casts such as the Aptyxiella Portlandica or "Portland screw" and Laevitrigonia Gibbosa or "horse's head".
		The first Portland stone quarries were situated on the north eastern coast of the Island, close to Rufus Castle, where huge landslips made the stone more easily accessible and the proximity of the sea, allowed the quarried stone blocks to be moved over relatively large distances by barge.
		Portland stone was used to build the Palace of Westminster in 1347, the Tower of London in 1349 and the first stone London Bridge in 1350.

	Stone types: Independent Basebed - Albion stone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Stone from the Portland Basebed is traditionally acknowledged as being less durable than Whitbed but it has been used extensively where a faster rate of weathering is acceptable or where its working qualities were required.
		It is possible to compare the results for the Basebed Stone from Bowers Quarry to those collected from buildings, exposure trials and tests on quarry samples collected by BRE during the last 70 years.
		Previous research at BRE has shown that Portland limestone which has a low saturation coefficient (>0.72), a high microporosity (>11.0 of the stone by volume) and an increased amount of micritic matrix will weather more rapidly than Whitbed when used on buildings.

	BRE Test results - Portland Independent Whit Bed Limestone
		Stone from the Portland Whitbed is traditionally acknowledged as generally being a very durable building stone and it has been used extensively in many towns and cities in the UK.
		Comparing the results for the Whitbed Stone from Independent Quarry to those collected from buildings, exposure trials and tests on quarry samples collected by BRE during the last 70 years shows that this stone compares well with the traditional view of Portland Whitbed.
		Previous research at BRE has shown that Portland limestone which has a low saturation coefficient (<0.72), a low microporosity (<11.0 of the stone by volume) and an open oolitic structure generally performs well over long periods when used on buildings.
