Correlation of physicomechanical properties with grain size and mineralogical composition of the carbonate rocks of Eastern Macedonia (Greece)

Abstract

The marbles quarried in the areas Volakas, Granitis, Ochyro, Piges and Pyrgoi are classified according to their mineralogical composition into a) dolomitic and b) dolomitic-calcitic marbles. The percentage of dolomite in these marbles ranges from 85% to 97%, while that of calcite from 3% to 12%. Quartz, apatite, phlogopite, chlorite, muscovite, magnetite and pyrite occur as accessory minerals. The above are characterized as ultra fine-grained with granoblastic texture, while their crystal binding is characterized as triple-point junction and loboidal. Their white colour is attributed to their mineralogical composition, more specifically to the presence of ultra-fine-grained dolomite with prevailing grain dimensions of 0.05 mm to 0.2 mm. The grey colour is attributed to the particle differentiation and to the presence of bitumens. The marbles quarried in the areas of Xeropotamos and Vathylakkos are calcitic and are tectonically affected very intensively. Their texture is mainly granobla ...
