Comparative field results for electrical resistivity, magnetic, gravity and LVF methods over a marble lens

Electrical resistivity, magnetic, gravity and VLF data obtained along five W-E traverses in a basement complex area of southwestern Nigeria were used to delineate the areal extent of a marble lens situated in a geologic setting consisting of calc gneiss and schist. The methods show diagnostic anomalies over the deposit. The marble deposit is characterised by a local low-amplitude resistivity high, a modest reduction in magnetic field intensity and a local low-amplitude gravity high. When the overburden thickness is significant, the magnetic method displays the best resolution of the target. Any of the methods can be used in delineating the marble, most especially when the overburden is thin. The VLF method is sensitive to vertical discontinuities within the marble deposit and could therefore be relevant in lithological contact delineation.

A contribution to the study of some greek marbles

The use of marble in Architecture began on the 7th century B.C. and continued to be used without stop untill today. Greece and especially the East Macedonia region is an extremely privileged area on marble deposits both in quantities and qualities and colours. In the present work the main physical and engineering properties of some varieties of greek marbles are given and a comparison with the international standards is made. The experimental material (marbles) was from East Macedonia, Argolida-Arcadia and Magnessia, three of the biggest marble deposit areas in Greece. From the results obtained, it is concluded that the marbles examined satisfy all the international standard codes and thus they can be used as building stones and decoration materials.

Die Bestimmung der Herkunft der Marmore von B�sten der M�nchener Residenz

51 Greek, Roman and Renaissance marble busts from the Antiquarium of the Residenz in Munich were studied for their C- and O-isotopic composition. Apart from some overlapping values, this technique permits — contrary to microscopic and chemical methods — localization of different Turkish, Greek and Italian marble deposits.
