Aggregate Industries JHA 'inner' bogie aggregate hopper wagon 19324 at Hoo Junction, in the consist of 7V75; Angerstein Wharf to Acton bogie hoppers, 15th November 2016.
$69 per ton - covers 45-50 SF per ton - Ranges from 3 to 8 in. - Good solution for high water flow areas.
This is the Solite Quarry on the Virginia-North Carolina state line. The rocks quarried here are crushed into aggregate. Good fossils occur at this locality - the original finds were on the Virginia side of the border, while the best fossils are on the North Carolina side. The aggregate plant's physical address is in Virginia. Most of the active pit is in North Carolina.
The rocks here are tilted sedimentary rocks of the Cow Branch Formation (Upper Triassic). The unit is part of the Newark Supergroup, a thick, geographically-widespread stratigraphic unit in eastern America. It is Late Triassic to Early Jurassic in age and represents sediments and some lava flows that filled up old rift valleys roughly paralleling the modern-day Eastern Seaboard of America. The rift basins formed in the Triassic when the ancient Pangaea supercontinent attempted to break apart, but failed. A successful breakup of Pangaea occurred during the Jurassic. Most of the basin-filling rocks are terrestrial redbeds - hematite-rich siliciclastic sedimentary rocks, such as conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone, and shale, deposited in nonmarine environments.

Brandon 5 July 2013: Carbon8 Aggregates's carbon negative aggregate, which is used in the Carbon Buster building block from Lignacite, has won the 2013 National Recycling Awards for Best Recycled Product.
Masonry products manufacturer, Lignacite, first launched this carbon-negative building block in May 2013.
This new building block from Lignacite is a world first and a British innovation, which has been developed by the company in partnership with Carbon8 Aggregates, using accelerated carbonation technology.
The Carbon Buster incorporates more than 50% recycled aggregates and combines this with Carbon8’s carbonated aggregates derived from by-products from waste-to-energy plants.
The result is a high-performing masonry product, and the first ever building block which has captured more carbon dioxide than is emitted during its manufacture (minus14kg of CO2 per tonne).
“We are delighted that this new carbonated aggregate that we use as a key ingredient in the Carbon Buster block has been recognised as the revolutionary innovation that it is. This aggregate is key to creating structures that will help meet the Government’s zero-carbon buildings target,” said Lignacite’s chief executive, Giles de Lotbiniere.

Carbon8:
Carbon8 provides Accelerated Carbonation Technology (ACT) for the treatment of industrial waste and contaminated soils. By using carbon dioxide to produce materials for re-use, or for cheaper disposal, we deliver a unique combination of benefits, including significantly shorter treatment times. The technology can utilise waste CO2 emissions from local sources, capturing significant volumes of CO2. When carbonation is used in the recovery and recycling of waste, an end product with real value is created. For more information, please visit www.c8s.co.uk

Aggregating anemone, also called the pink-tipped green anemone (gee, wonder why). Divide asexually and form colonies, use stinging cells to defend boundaries between different colonies. The green coloration is enhanced by the anemone's symbiotic relationship with algae. The anemone uses bits of sand and shell shards as protection -- camouflage from predators, and to reflect sunlight.

Part of the crowd at the SC09 Beowulf Bash. The event has kind of jumped the shark; it was packed, and the drinks were nasty.
. .is really great. Its great to be an aggregate train!
