Metamorphic rocks always seem to get the shortest treatment in introductory geology classes This is unfortunate because metamorphic rocks form right where the action is in the hearts of mountain belts during continental collisions along subduction zones as the slabs grind ever deeper below the surface right next to magma chambers as they
This happens when the temperature pressure or fluid environment change and a rock changes its form limestone turns to marble The range of temperatures for metamophism is 150C up to the melting temperature
Minerals are items that can be found in The Mines and the Skull Cavern Most minerals are acquired from geodes after having Clint process them Some are found on the ground and some in the case of gems and resources can be mined from nodes which are also found in the Quarry They can also sometimes be acquired as Monster Drops as gifts

Marble Cliff Quarry employees maintained both the locomotives and shovels which require skilled boiler makers and other railroad shop men They also had multiple rock crushers to process the raw material which can be seen in some of the photos The rock crushers were large noisy and very dusty machines that took the large quarried rocks
Marble identification by manufacturer is sometimes difficult in many cases it is impossible The evolution of marble making machines often resulted in an overlap in the construction and design of marbles between different companies because each company used each others ideas and sometimes the same machines From the time that Christensen first got the ball marble
Breccias are a relatively common clastic sedimentary rock They form in many different violent situations where host rocks are broken and not transported far from their source These situations include any scenario in which rocks can be broken and re accumulate to form the angular sediment
