Calcite present. Calcite was found in only 15 of 80 samples, with concentrations generally 3 wt% or less, except for sites 4 FS (12 wt%) and 11 FD (5 wt%). As calcite and dolomite are often found together and can be components of road aggregate, sidewalk (concrete), and/or concrete construction materials, these values were combined under one column labeled Dolomite/Calcite.

2

Feldspar was identified as albite, except where marked by *, which means anorthite.

Former smelter sites.

For other phases, C is chlorite; H is halloysite; M is mica; R is rutile; ? indicates that the quantities could not be determined.
