The centre of the room is now occupied by the quartzite sarcophagus containing the outermost coffin. |
It includes a variety of rocks, such as basalt, granite, gneiss, quartzite, slate, and schist. |
In addition to the volcanogenic sedimentary rocks, there are lenses of limestone, quartzite, shale and sandstone. |
There are three chipped stone celts of Smoky Hill jasper in the collection and one of a very well cemented, fine-grained quartzite. |
For instance, large quartzite boulders cap several of the mountain ridges in the Wallowa Mountains of northeast Oregon. |
They contain some quartzite and quartz clasts and only a little debris derived from local Jurassic rocks. |
