unreferenced date June 2010 In biology, mineralization refers to the process where an organic substance is converted to an inorganic substance. This may also be a normal biological process which takes place during the life of an organism such as the formation of bone tissue or egg shells, largely with calcium . This term may also be used to indicate the digestion process in which bacteria utilize the organic part of the matter, leaving behind the minerals see Fossil . This can also take place as the organic material decays and water percolating through the soil dissolves mineral salts that precipitate in place of the tissue.

Economic geology is concerned with earth materials that can be used for economic and or industrial purposes. These materials include precious and base metals, nonmetallic minerals, construction grade stone, petroleum minerals, coal, and water. The term commonly refers to metallic mineral deposits and mineral resources. The techniques employed by other earth science disciplines such as geochemistry , mineralogy , geophysics , and structural geology might all be used to understand, describe, and exploit an ore deposit. Economic geology is studied and practiced by geologists. However it is of prime interest to investment banker s, stock analysts and other professions such as engineers, environmental scientists, and conservationists because of the far reaching impact that extractive industries have on society, the economy, and the environment. Mineral resources main Mineral resource classification Mineral resources are concentrations of minerals significant for current and future societal needs. Ore is classified as mineralization economically and technically feasible for extraction. Not all mineralization meets these criteria for various reasons.

orphan date February 2010 Forensic Geology is the study of evidence relating to minerals, soil, petroleums, and other materials found in the Earth used to answer questions raised by the legal system. Ray Murray first encountered forensic geology in 1973 when he was teaching geology at Rutgers University. An agent from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms walked into Murray s office with a bag of dirt, looking for answers. Since then, Murray has worked as a forensic geologist and, with then fellow Rutgers professor John Tedrow, in 1975 published the first textbook on the science, Forensic Geology. Murray served as vice president and professor of geology at the University of Montana from 1977 to 1996 and continues to work in forensic geology. His latest book Evidence from the Earth forensic geology and criminal investigation has been published by Mountain Press. Early use of Forensic Geology According to prospective Forensic Geologist, Ray Murray, Forensic Geology began with acclaimed Sherlock Holmes writer, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle .

Unreferenced date December 2007 In geology the term compression refers to a set of stresses directed toward the center of a rock mass. Compressive strength refers to the maximum compressive stress that can be applied to a material before failure occurs. When the maximum compressive stress is in a horizontal orientation, thrust fault ing can occur, resulting in the shortening and thickening of that portion of the crust geology crust . When the maximum compressive stress is vertical, a section of rock will often fail in normal fault s, horizontally extending and vertically thinning a given layer of rock. Compressive stresses can also result in fold geology folding of rocks. Because of the large magnitudes of lithostatic stress in tectonic plate s, tectonic scale deformation geology deformation is always subjected to net compressive stress.
