what is the Cotter Dolomite?
I would recommend taking a step back and think about what you are doing wrong. Sounds like your head is not in the game. Only then can you decide if you should keep riding.
If a person is careful, biking shouldnt be a problem. You should continue biking, but be more careful and alert next time.and wear a helmet!!!!
It sounds to me as if your riding either too fast for the road conditions or following too close. You say you know how to ride good but I think your wrong. I'd almost bet you were exceeding the speed limit both times weren't you? You want to stay alive riding a bike? Learn two things.never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly and always ride like your invisible.
Um yeah, what he said. Simply put, Dolomite is pretty much Calcium Carbonate CaCO3, Kind of like baking soda but it is the form of small ocean critter shells. that have been baked and squeezed a little in a process called metamorphism (low grade regional metamorphism) Some sedimentary geologists will say it is just diagenesis not metamorphism but metamorphic geologists will probably get to claim it.
Age: Early Ordovician Period Distribution: Northern Arkansas, Ozark Plateaus; southern Missouri, and Oklahoma Geology: The Cotter Dolomite is composed of dolostone of predominantly two types: a fine-grained, argillaceous, earthy textured, relatively soft, white to buff or gray dolostone called cotton rock, and a more massive, medium-grained, gray dolostone that weathers to a somewhat hackly surface texture and becomes dark on exposure. The formation contains chert, some minor beds of greenish shale, and occasional thin interbedded sandstone. The chert nodules associated with the Cotter frequently have concentric light and dark bands. The fossils known from the Cotter Dolomite are rare, but include gastropods, cephalopods, and reef-building algae. To date, there has been no success in differentiating the Cotter Formation from the Jefferson City Formation in Arkansas, although the contact is considered disconformable. The thickness is about 340 feet in the vicinity of Cotter, but the interval may range up to 500 feet thick in places. I hope this helps you. Regards, Warren
