The eroded Claron limestone in which also fossils are found, leaves the impression of a subtle army from limestone warriors.

His­to­ry of min­ing in the Il­me­nau re­gion... As already mentioned elsewhere, mining in Ilmenau dates back to the year 1200. In 1216, Count Poppo v. Henneberg was enfeoffed with the Bergregal by Friedrich den II. At that time one had discovered mineralised steep copper slate near Roda and on the Sturmheide. Presumably, individual miners had been enfeoffed, who extracted copper slate and sandstone in accordance with the mining freedom. This is generally regarded as the beginning of the first main period of Ilmenau mining. The ore was mined in small open pits to a maximum depth of 50m. ... A Contribution of {:10697:}

Public Sci­ence Pro­jects / Sk­lo­dowskite and Bolt­woodite from Lavri­on – an In­ter­est­ing Epi­taxyAt the site Paliokamariza Mine No. 18 (Plaka, Lavrion, Attica, Greece), yellow, needle-like uranium minerals were observed growing on gypsum. Under UV light (365 nm), two distinct fluorescence colors appeared: shorter, thinner needles glowed bright green, while longer, well-formed needles glowed yellow...

This study illustrates a notable epitaxial relationship between Boltwoodite (green luminescent) and Sklodowskite (yellow luminescent) on a gypsum matrix, discovered at Lavrion, Greece. Luminescent differentiation under UV, combined with spectroscopic and EDX analyses, revealed the intergrowth of the two uranium silicates—providing insight into their growth and crystallization behavior

Min­er­alien­por­trait WulfenitDas Mineral Wulfenit wurde - so die allgemein verbreitete Version bzw. der allgemein verbreitete Irrtum - Ende des 18. Jh. vom österreichischen Jesuiten (Abbé), Botaniker und Mineralogen Franz Freiherr von Wulfen entdeckt und von ihm in seiner berühmten "Abhandlung vom Kärnthnerischen Bleyspathe" im Jahr 1785 beschrieben und gezeichnet, obwohl es bereits 1772 eine Veröffentlichung des Siebenbürgener Mineralogen und Geologen Ignaz von Born gab, mit dem Titel: "Plumbum spatosum flavo-rubrum pellucidum" (von Annaberg in Niederösterreich). Von Wulfen selbst zitierte den berühmten Bergrat Scopoli, welcher in seiner "Einleitung zur Kenntnis der Fossilien" den kärntherischen Bleyspat als " ungestaltete, ockergelblichte, versteinerte Bleyerde, welche im Zentner 27 bis 30 Pfund Blei enthält " beschrieb... ein Beitrag von Peter Seroka

Grand Cany­onDer Grand Canyon ist eine stark abfallende Schlucht die sich auf einer Länge von 450 km im Bundestaat Arizon der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika erstreckt. Der Grand Canyon ist einer der best erforschten Aufschlüsse, dennoch sind die Entstehung und die dafür benötigten Zeiträume nicht vollends geklärt. In der Zweitspann von 65 bis 20 Millionen Jahren (Ma) wurde das Kaibab Plateau an dessem südwestlichem Rand der Grand Canyon liegt auf bis zu 3000m über den Meeresspeigel angehoben. Nach einer Phase der Erosion in der nahezu vollständig die im Mesozoikum abgelagerten Sedimente weg erodierten begann der Ur-Colorade sich durch die verbliebenen Schichten zu graben. Nach heutigem Stand benötigte der Colorado wenige Millionen Jahre um den heutigen Grand Canyon freizulegen. Die Erosion in die Tiefe erfolgte dabei in den letzten 2 Ma.

Al­ten­berg Tin MineThe Altenberg tin mine is well known for its huge surface break left by the mining activities. Among mineral collectors the mine is famous as well for its unique Pycnite deposit, a variety of topaz occurring in massive columnar aggregates up to a length of 30 cm.

The mining started in 1440 and continued, with several ups and downs and some total shut-down periods, until 1991. The mining activities aimed for a plutonic granite body (350 to 400 metre in diameter and hydrothermally mineralized mainly with cassiterite and smaller amounts of wolframite, molybdenite, arsenopyrite, bismuth and others) and managed to extract a total sum of 37 million tons of ore. The huge surface break, called "The Altenberger Pinge", is the result of several roof collapses caused by excessive ore excavation and later on the continued drawing of caved material from the bottom of the fracture zone.

Collectible minerals were rare and small, so the Altenberg tin mine became never as famous as the Freiberg or Ehrenfriedersdorf districts, but its unique geology and mining technology made it quite interesting and worth a closer look.
