Guest Ian Chesterton Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Anorthosite (a rock composed of more than 95% plagioclase) is used as a rock for the foundations of motorways, but it is of immense scientific interest and we should use other, more abundant rock types* What do you think? *Other interpretations of this thread & poll question are available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woot Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 What's got into you since The Hoff took off? Talk us through the scientific interest of anorthosite... what are its mysteries, qualities and applications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobloblob Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Could we have some more options please. Just Yes and No is a bit, well, limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skinty Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Anorthosite's a beautiful rock and they tear up beautiful places to get it. To hear they grind it up for roads is an outrage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk us through the scientific interest of anorthosite... what are its mysteries, qualities and applications? The white bits of the moon are made of it. The crust of the earth when it formed would have been made of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobloblob Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yes - we should have a third option of pumpkin. Perfect. I voted No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never Going To Buy ! Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm not voting at all, out of protest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Chesterton Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Its close, but as all votes are for yes, it looks an open and shut case. Mods! You need to ban Anorthosite from these boards! You need to ban anything that promotes its use as aggregate.* *Other interpretations of banning Anorthosite are available. Just as well really, as this thread has bugger all to do with the rock.

Well its down to the mods of course but in my view the vote is void given this topic contravenes forum rules on picking on individual HPC members.

Scunnered Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 How about banning everyone else and leaving him trapped in solitary confinement? Edited to add: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woot Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 The white bits of the moon are made of it. The crust of the earth when it formed would have been made of it. I've finally made the connection - Labradorite etc... I vote 'Yes'. Should we also ban mining titanium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Chesterton Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I've finally made the connection - Labradorite etc... I vote 'Yes'. Should we also ban mining titanium? Oh no, its not nearly half the problem Anorthosite is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm all for it. I also think they should encourage more South East Asian cockle pickers to try the Morecambe area. ****** McCaws too whilst we're here. Ugly birds.

Abstra Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 A North Shite made posts critisising me about a year ago. I'd throw his sole into the pit of Hades for the Demons to tear up if I had my way. I in no way like him. Just get rid off and good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woot Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Oh no, its not nearly half the problem Anorthosite is. But don't you destroy anorthosite to gain titanium? - I thought most titanium was found in anorthosite. Happy to be completely wrong though...
