This
web
site
describes
three
mineral
locations
in
the
area
of
Anthony's
Nose,
a
prominent
highland
east
of
the
Hudson
River
in
New
York
State.
Two
of
the
sites
are
over
150
years
old
and
have
been
long
forgotten.
Yet
surprisingly
minerals
may
still
be
easily
collected
at
these
sites.
Unfortunately
there
has
been
much
confusion
about
the
exact
localities
and
mineral
occurrences.

This is a listing of mineral species arranged by physical and optical properties: hardness, streak, and luster; density; cleavage and fracture; refractive index; or color. Clicking on each property provides access to a list of minerals exhibiting that property; clicking on each mineral name provides access to more detailed information about it.

In
this
activity,
students
match
photographs
of
igneous
rocks
with
descriptions
of
their
formation.
There
are
also
two
teacher
demonstrations
that
will
help
students
to
identify
pumice
and
volcanic
ash
with
graded
bedding.
Other
pictures
and
descriptions
are
of
breccia,
columnar
jointing
in
a
basaltic
lava
flow,
coarse
grained
granite,
and
phenocrysts
in
a
porphyry.

6-8.
This
lesson
focuses
on
sedimentary
rocks
and
how
they
are
formed.
Students
review
the
rock
cycle
and
three
rock
types:
igneous,
metamorphic
and
sedimentary.
They
then
write
children's
books
about
sedimentary
rocks
to
explain
the
process
to
a
younger
audience.
