A visit to the Jordans/Bowers #PortlandStone Mine for the @stone-work.bsky.social team. We had a fantastic tour from #AlbionStone. An incredible opportunity to see these exposed faces of pristine Portland Formation - Britain’s global heritage stone #buildingstone #ghs #isleofportland
A view of us, wearing high vis jackets, walking through the stone mine. The tunnels are more or less square in section and recede into the distance Block is also stored in the mine until it is needed. One of our team is standing between two fresh cut blocks which are taller than her. A close up of a rare facies of Portland stone - oyster and Solenopora patch reefs occur in the Portland stones and are only revealed by quarrying. A close up of Bowers Roach - a facies of Portland Stone with distinctive and characteristic casts and moulds of fossils, including the spire-shaped gastropod Aptyxiella portlandica shown here.

A few more Portland Stone mine pictures - cutting out the block with a Fantini saw and putting rock bolts in the mine ceiling, which is Purbeck Caps

A Fantini rock saw can cut under and around the blocks of stone - in this case Portland Whitbed Another image of the Fantini saw cutting block This machine can install rock bolts to secure the ceiling - it takes around three minutes to put in a bolt. The machine drills the whole, injects a quick setting cement and then inserts and tightens the bolt. They install a bolt every three metres. Another view of the rock bolting machine manoeuvring into place.
