Currier, L. W. 1960. Geologic Appraisal of Dimension-Stone Deposits, 78p.

This report was planned and designed originally to fit the needs of the field geologist who is engaged in general geologic mapping of an area. As the treatment developed, it seemed desirable to bridge the gap between geologist and the stone specialist by correlating the field approach of the geologist with the technical interests of the operator. This volume attempts to provide the geologist with the broader technical aspects of the stone industry that derive from geologic features. At the same time, it is hoped that the specialist, consultant, and operator may find various parts of the report useful and informative. It is hoped that the geologist will find answers to the question of what he should do and what he should not be expected to do.
