Weathered quartite sandstones of the Kursk magnetic anomaly as a raw material for construction industry
Introduction. The features of composition and structure of quartzitic sandstones of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly affected by weathering processes, which do not meet the requirements of normative documents for obtaining crushed rock, are considered. The reserves of these rocks have not been approved as...
