Cwm Coke Works
1958 - 2002
"In the 1970s, the cokeworks employed 1,500 men and produced some 515,000 tonnes of coke each year. It continued to do so until 1986, when coal was privatised."

"Coke is a fuel with few impurities and a high carbon content, usually made from coal. It is the solid carbonaceous material derived from destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal. Coke made from coal are grey, hard, and porous. While coke can be formed naturally, the commonly used form is man-made. The form known as petroleum coke, or pet coke, is derived from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes."

This conveyer belt moves coal from the bituminous coal mines at Black Mesa to the tower next to the highway. From here it's loaded onto a train that brings it to the Navajo Generating Station outside Page, Arizona. Anyone ever read the Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey? Both the conveyer and the train were sabotaged by Hayduke & Co.
An Icthyosaure and a Crocodile Marin which lived 180-200 million years ago. They are displayed at the Neuchâtel Museum of Natural History. They were recovered from bituminous schiste in the region of Holzmaden (Southern Germany) from sediments laid down in calm water, under conditions very like those in the Black Sea today.

Dactylioceras, meaning ‘Finger Horn’ is a species of Ammonite which in habited the open seas during the Early Jurassic period 200-175 million years ago.
Dactylioceras is a common find in Jurassic bituminous shales. These shales formed when limited water circulation allowed stagnant (still, oxygen-poor) conditions to develop in dense sediments on the sea floor. This was favourable for preservation of ammonites and other shells in various ways.
The impermeable nature of the sediment prevented the shell’s structure of aragonite material from dissolving away.
In addition, the stagnant conditions encountered by the shells when they sank to the bottom meant that burrowing animals or currents would not disturb them as the fossilisation process occurred.
Several individuals are preserved in the block shown here, discovered that Dactylioceras had gregarious (group-living) habits.
Possibly, like many modern cephalopods, such as squid, they congregated in large swarms or schools to breed.

Manufactured by the Stanton Ironworks Co Ltd in Ilkeston, Derbyshire (the iron connection is in the mould pattern) was the WWII Stanton Air Raid Shelter. A segment shelter made by the former workshop producing spun-concrete lighting columns ceased production and turned over to concrete air-raid shelters, of which 100,000 tons were manufactured, principally for the air ministry.
Reinforced concrete proved an ideal material for air-raid shelters, being strong and resistant to shock with no deterioration with the passing of time. This type of segment shelter was of simple design and of low cost, of which any length of shelter could be built up from the pre-cast steel reinforced concrete segments usually for 50 personnel. The segments were 20 inches wide, a pair of them formed an arch 7ft high and transverse struts were provided to ensure rigidity. These fitted into longitudinal bearers which were grooved to receive the foot of each segment. Each pair of segments was bolted together at the apex of the arch and each segment was also bolted to its neighbour, the joints being sealed with a bituminous compound. The convenient handling of these segments enabled them to be transported onto sites where close access by motor lorry was not possible. Partly buried in the ground, covered with earth/turf, sometimes a suitably brick lined entrance and concrete steps if required, escape hatch at the opposite end. These bolted together air raid shelters afforded safe protection against blast and splinters.

Pedra de Soldó
La pedra de soldó es un tipus de calcària miocènica, generalment d’un to daurat clar.
L’extracció d’aquesta pedra es realitzava a les diverses pedreres al voltant de l’antiga Tàrraco; per exemple, la pedrera romana del Mèdol o a la pedrera d’en Dolça, ubicada on actualment es el Parc de la Torre d’en Dolça.
Aquest tipus de pedra va ser utilitzat durant molts segles, tant per a les construccions d’època romana, com per a la construcció de catedrals, torres medievals, cooperatives i edificis modernistes, no tan sols del Camp de Tarragona, sinó també de Barcelona.
"Soldó és com es coneix localment, al Camp de Tarragona i al Penedès, a aquesta pedra gresosa blanquinosa. Aquesta pedra sorrenca és una roca sedimentària detrítica, és a dir que té partícules de roques derivades d'una roca preexistent a través de processos de meteorització i erosió. Té poca duresa, i que es pot treballar fàcilment, fins i tot amb instruments de fusteria. És d’origen miocènic i sovint també és coneguda com a pedra del Mèdol, per ser la mateixa que hi ha en aquest jaciment.
En l’època romana no es feia servir per l’arquitectura més destacada, només s’utilitzava per construccions més corrents. En canvi a l’època medieval es va utilitzar per construccions importants i treballades, com la Catedral de Tarragona.
Es forma per una sorra cimentada amb materials generalment calcaris, silicis, ferruginosos, glauconítics, guixencs, argilosos o bituminosos. Les dimensions dels grans són com els de la sorra, i estan units per un ciment de natura variable que en condiciona la porositat, la duresa, la densitat i la resistència a l'erosió. La majoria dels grans són de quars, però també hi ha feldspats i escates, no pas grans, de mica, com també d'altres minerals. També pot contenir corall.
Els grans són gruixuts, fins o mitjans, ben rodons, de mida compresa entre 2 mm i 1/16 mm.
Les pedres arenoses verdes o glauconítiques contenen un alt percentatge del mineral glauconita. L'arcosa és una varietat de pedra arenosa en la que el feldspat és el mineral dominant a més del quars.
El color varia al blanc, en el cas de les pedres arenoses constituïdes virtualment per quars pur."
"Soldó es como se conoce localmente, en el Camp de Tarragona y el Penedès, a esta piedra arenosa blanquecina. Esta piedra arenisca es una roca sedimentaria detrítica, es decir que tiene partículas de rocas derivadas de una roca preexistente a través de procesos de meteorización y erosión. Tiene poca dureza, y que se puede trabajar fácilmente, incluso con instrumentos de carpintería. Es de origen miocénico ya menudo también es conocida como piedra del Mèdol, por ser la misma que hay en este yacimiento.
En la época romana no se utilizaba para la arquitectura más destacada, sólo se utilizaba para construcciones más corrientes. En cambio en la época medieval se utilizó para construcciones importante y trabajadas, como la catedral de Tarragona.
Se forma por una arena cimentada con materiales generalmente calcáreos, silíceos, ferruginosos, glauconíticos, yesosos, arcillosos o bituminosos. Las dimensiones de los granos son como los de la arena, y están unidos por un cemento de naturaleza variable que condiciona la porosidad, la dureza, la densidad y la resistencia a la erosión. La mayoría de los granos son de cuarzo, pero también hay feldespatos y escamas, no granos, de mica, así como de otros minerales. También puede contener coral.
Los granos son gruesos, finos o medios, bien redondos, de tamaño comprendido entre 2 mm y 1/16 mm.
Las areniscas verdes o glauconíticas contienen un alto porcentaje del mineral glauconita. La arcosa es una variedad de piedra arenisca en la que el feldespato es el mineral dominante además del cuarzo.
El color varía del blanco, en el caso de las areniscas constituidas virtualmente por cuarzo puro."
"Soldó is as it is known locally, in the Camp de Tarragona and the Penedès, to this white sandy stone. This sandstone is a detritic sedimentary rock, that is, it has rock particles derived from a preexisting rock through weathering and erosion processes. It has little hardness, and it can be easily worked, even with carpentry instruments. It is of Miocene origin and is often also known as Mèdol stone, as it is the same as in this site.
In Roman times it was not used for the most outstanding architecture, it was only used for more ordinary constructions. On the other hand, in medieval times it was used for important and worked constructions, such as the cathedral of Tarragona.
It is formed by a sand cemented with materials generally calcareous, siliceous, ferruginous, glauconitic, gypsum, clayey or bituminous. The dimensions of the grains are like those of the sand, and are joined by a cement of variable nature that conditions the porosity, the hardness, the density and the resistance to the erosion. Most grains are quartz, but there are also feldspars and scales, not grains, mica, as well as other minerals. It can also contain coral.
The grains are thick, fine or medium, well rounded, with a size between 2 mm and 1/16 mm.
Green or glauconitic sandstones contain a high percentage of glauconite ore. Arcosa is a variety of sandstone in which feldspar is the dominant mineral in addition to quartz.
The color varies from the white, in the case of the sandstones constituted virtually by pure quartz."
