Flint Nodule: Flint is a variety of microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline quartz. It occurs as nodules and concretionary masses, and less frequently as a layered deposit. It breaks consistently with a conchoidal fracture and was one of the first materials used to make tools by early people. They used it to make cutting tools. This specimen is about four inches (ten centimeters) across and is from Dover Cliffs, England.

UW Study Explores How Rock Expands Near Soil Surface in Southern Sierra Nevada
September 28 | University of Wyoming
A University of Wyoming researcher and his team discovered that weathering of subsurface rock in the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California occurs due more to rocks expanding than from chemical decomposition, as previously thought. Porosity, the void space in rock, was conventionally thought to be produced when water flows through the rock, thus resulting in minerals chemically dissolving.

Nearly 600 million short tons (MMst) of coal was shipped to the U.S. electric power sector in 2018, the lowest level since 1983. Coal has lost market share because natural gas is less expensive, easier to transport, has no ash disposal problem, burns cleaner, arrives by pipeline, does not require on-ground storage, does not require crushing, has lower handling costs, and other advantages. In addition, wind, solar and other renewable fuels are taking market share away from coal.
