Fossils of the large Isotelus gigas trilobite (up to 1 foot long) have also been found in the Ordovician rocks in the Blue Grass Region. A trilobite is being captured by a cephalopod in the Ordovician scene. One giant ostracode, Leperditia, about the size of a fingernail, can sometimes be found in the Ordovician rocks in the central part of the Blue Grass Region....

Dolomite Mineral | Uses and Properties

Dolomite is a common rockforming mineral. It is a calcium magnesium carbonate with a chemical composition of CaMg (CO 3) 2. It is the primary component of the sedimentary rock known as dolostone and the metamorphic rock known as dolomitic marble. Limestone that contains some dolomite is known as dolomitic limestone....
