#Tugtupite is also found at Mont Saint-Hilaire, east of Montreal.
The Poudrette quarry is the type locality of 73 minerals, 35 of which have not been found elsewhere. It's an IUGS Geoheritage site. At this site alkaline magmas intruded platform sediments during the Cretaceous.

Geoheritage (Geology ⛰️)
Geoheritage is the geological aspect of natural and cultural heritage. A geosite is a particular geological heritage asset. It is a heritage category comparable to other forms of natural heritage, such as biodiversity.

Milwaukee’s Gift to Devonian Paleontology
Now known for its sports teams, Harleys, and beer, early Milwaukee County, Wisconsin was one of the nation’s leading producers of natural cement, and the fossils from its cement mines revealed one of the country’s most diverse assemblages of animals and plants of their age (Middle Devonian, ~385 million years ago).

A study in weathering ...
Glaciofluvial erratic septarian nodule from Pleistocene sands & gravels at Earsham, Norfolk, UK: Jurassic mudstone with interstitial calcite - gets weathered by acidic groundwater - crumbles as calcite dissolves - gets nostalgic about past glories. #Jurassic #Geology #geoheritage #EarthHeritage

#Geoheritage Dinosaur Tracksite in Nangdo-ri, Yeosu is maybe one of the youngest dinosaur tracksite in South Korea. Over than 3,500 footprints of theropods (Including bird tracks), ornithopods, sauropods are known from 5 neighboring islands. Here are some photos including sedimentary structures which I took from Nangdo Island, but unfortunately I wasn't able to see trackway because of tidal issue.
