Fuck each of you more than the other.
I merely jest, don't hate.

Well then, carry on.

I was kinda thinking the conversation at that transport company went like this:
STC smart underling: Sir, the military is looking to sell a bunch of planes.
STC oblivious CEO: They're selling planes? We NEED planes!
STC su: Only problem is the planes don't really work.
STC oceo: That's PERFECT!! We can get them for cheap!

Looks like limestone with some chert lenses in the top picture, and since limestone will weather away while the chert just sits there not doing jack shit, it will be sticking out in relief on exposed surfaces where limestone dissolved like some sort of asshole. That's the bottom pic.
Where was this btw?

When I first saw it I thought it was concrete with rock embedded in it, till I saw the cut.

Re: Post Something Interesting
did some research on the quarry that's right there (Table Rock quarry #2), and found that they were quarrying Osagean series limestone. Osagean is a pretty broad category containing several formations seen here http://mrdata.usgs.gov/geology/state/sg ... y=36.69118
I looked at their references and the The Stratigraphic Succession in Missouri book I conveniently have right next to me! I know, fuckin nerd.
So, looking through the book I'm reading about the Reeds Spring Formation:
"...consists of alternating beds of dense, (big descriptive geology words here that mean nothing to normal people) gray or bluish gray limestone and bluish black to grayish white, nodular and irregularly bedded chert. The chert has a distinctive light-gray border. On weathered surfaces from which the limestone has been removed, a boxwork or lattice structure in the chert is exposed..."
Ahem...

Where'd you find the data on that quarry there?

I have a missouri mines (past and present) overlay I got from http://mrdata.usgs.gov/mrds/
You can pick by county, or what I did, statewide. Statewide tends to blow up your system though. Lots of data there.
