First sentence: Industries in Kansas and adjacent states have a growing need for local sources of high-calcium limestone.
Description: This study was undertaken to present data on some limestones in Kansas that were known to be of relatively good quality and suspected of being high quality. More thorough inventories of limestone sources in Kansas are now under way by the Geological Survey. In the course of the present study there was no attempt to locate, examine, sample, and analyze every possible high-calcium limestone in the State. Rather the aim was to locate and analyze some limestones of sufficiently high calcium content to meet more exacting specifications than those required by present uses.
