An argillite IPAc en icon r d l a t is a fine grained sedimentary rock composed predominantly of indurated clay particles. Argillaceous rocks are basically lithified muds and oozes. They contain variable amounts of silt sized particles. The argillites grade into shale when the Fissility geology fissile layering typical of shale is developed. Another name for poorly lithified argillites is mudstone . These rocks, although variable in composition, are typically high in aluminium and silica with variable alkali and alkaline earth cation s.

No footnotes date May 2009 Holmesville Soil Series is the name given to a gravelly sandy loam or gravelly loam soil which has developed on glacial till in western New Brunswick, Canada . It belongs to the podzol soil group. The bedrock from which the parent material was derived is largely quartzite but includes considerable admixtures of argillite , slate , schist , and locally shale . This diversity of bedrock sources contributes to the fertility of this soil series, which is well drained yet moisture retentive an ideal combination for farmers. The Holmesville is a major agricultural soil which provides much of New Brunswick s potato output. Cattle are also raised for their beef and milk . A wide variety of tree s grow well on this soil and support a lumber industry. On 13 February 1997, the Province of New Brunswick designated the Holmesville Soil Series as its Provincial Soil.

The hill, an outcrop of Argillite is the highest point in the Naparima Plains . Originally nearly dome shaped with a flattened top, the size was reduced by more than a third as a result of unrestricted quarrying in the 1970s. The Hill originally supported Trinidad and Tobago dry forests semi evergreen forest , but this was largely replaced by cultivated species prior to the devastation of the Hill by quarrying. Quarrying on the Hill was not a new phenomenon, but the increase in demand for Argillite aggregate for construction during the oil boom of the 1970s led to an expansion of quarrying to the point where it appeared that the entire Hill would be removed. Protests by citizens groups led to a halt to quarrying and the Hill was included in the National Parks and Protected Areas plan of 1980. The Forestry Division of Trinidad and Tobago Forestry Division took over management of the Hill and have since constructed a visitor centre and recreation area on the Hill. When visiting the centre, one can look out over a commanding view of south and central Trinidad, the Gulf Of Paria, and on a clear day, the coast of nearby Venezuela. Several World War II era bunkers also exist on the Hill, but they are not readily accessible to the public. During the late 1980s the then mayor of San Fernando, Dr. Romesh Mootoo suggested that the City Hall be removed to the Hill, calling it the Acropolis of the Caribbean . Nothing came of these plans, however. With the development of the Hill as a recreation area, the ... more details
