Les marbres, données géologiques et questions de restaurations by Annie Blanc

“…To distinguish them from each other, chemical analysis is necessary (trace elements, carbon and oxygen isotopes).Masons worked different limestone rocks, which they polished and used decoratively, including limestone marble, nodular limestone, Griotte, Breccia, conglomerates and siliceous rocks like porphyry, serpentine, quartzite, etc. Study and description of these and other calcareous rocks allows, in most cases, the identification of their origin.As part of the restoration, it was necessary to identify the marble and ornamental rocks, to find out whether they were still quarried, and if not, to make replacements, particularly for the floors. …”
