Abstract. The karst region of Apulia (S Italy) has been interested for many centuries in quarrying activities, with regard to extraction of the main carbonate rocks that were used as ornamental and building stones, strongly contributing to creation of Apulian architectural styles, from "romanico" in the Bari area to "barocco leccese" farther south.
· Fiborn Quarry: An Upper Peninsula "Ghost Town" and Karst Preserve. January 12, 2015 · by jonkatje · in Landmarks . ·. Tucked away in the woods near Trout Lake Township in Mackinac County are the remains of what was once a thriving limestone quarry and town.

Limestones have been worked for many thousands of years — initially for building stone and agricultural lime and more recently for a wide range of construction and industrial uses. In most industrialized countries limestone quarries represent the most visually obvious and, in both process and landform terms, the most dramatic anthropogenic impact on karst terrain. However, quarrying has, to ...

Karst is a topography formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. It has also been documented for more weathering-resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions. Subterranean drainage may limit surface water, with few to no rivers or lakes.

When mining occurs in karst, disruption to natural aquifers, or flows of underground water, can result. Often, mining operations remove ground water to expose the quarrying site, which can lower the water table and change how water flows through the rock formations.
Quarrying of stones SlideShare Quarrying Methods Rocks suitable for the manufacture of stone materials are called useful minerals and the operations involved in obtaining minerals are called mining In the process of mining, voids formed are called excavations, and the mined deposits are the quarries The purpose of quarrying is to obtain stones for various engineering purposes Depending upon ...

Potential Environmental Impacts of Quarrying Stone in Karst. The influence of quarry size on environmental impact is obvious: all other things being equal, the larger the quarry, the larger the geomorphic impact. The size of quarries has increased over time, and so has their impact. (pg 8) Poorly designed or poorly controlled blasts may cause ...

Aurisina limestone is a type of stone extracted in the Karst region, just a few kilometers away from Trieste (northeastern Italy), which was much used in the Roman Age. The Aurisina quarries belonged to the territory of Aquileia and were exploited at least from the 2nd century BC. In ancient times they provided huge quantities of stone, that was used to realize buildings and infrastructure as ...
