The following is part nine in westerly life s behind the murals series discussing the history behind all of the recently created murals throughout downtown westerly and pawcatuck.

Westerly granite composition.

The westerly occurs mainly as dikes. A threshold temperature of 60 to 70 c appeared to exist for this range of heating rate above which a e. The mural discussed below which presents a look at westerly s history in the granite industry can be found between shield martial arts and fret s guitar workshop. Those deformed at intermediate conditions show a combination of grain scale faults and plastic.

The deformation behavior of quartz and feldspar has been studied in westerly granite deformed dry at a constant strain rate of 10 6 s confining pressures of 1 5 15 kbar and temperatures of 25 1000 c. The mineral composition of westerly granite makes it easy to polish. Described as gray with tints of blue to pink equigranular and fine grained calc alkaline quartz monzonite to granodiorite.

The acoustic emission of westerly granite subjected to temperature changes up to 120 at various heating rates from 0 4 to 12 5 c min was studied. Samples deformed at lower temperatures and pressures show throughgoing faults. Comolli granite of westerly ri provides granite memorials monuments mausoleum markers pavers and benches. Consists mainly oligoclase microcline quartz and biotite with minor muscovite skehan and rast 1990 per ct014.
