The Sugar Run Dolomite is a geologic formation in Illinois. It is a finely-bedded dolomite, preserving fossils dating back to the Silurian period. This formation is named for the Sugar Run stream in Joliet, along which it is well exposed. The dolomite is off-white/grey on freshly cut surfaces but over time oxidizes to a distinctive cream yellow ...
Crushed stone may be made from granite, limestone, dolomite, and other rocks. Also known as "crusher run", DGA (dense grade aggregate) QP (quarry process), and shoulder stone. [30] Crushed stone is distinguished from gravel by the U.S. Geological Survey. [25] Fine gravel

Evidence of this flood can be seen in the high rubble bars that run parallel to the modern river. The torrent also cut through the bedrock of the Joliet Dolomite; this caused the formation of waterfalls in tributaries of the Kankakee as their waters flowed over the hard bedrock and fell down into the canyon cut by the torrent.

A crusher is a machine designed to reduce large rocks into smaller rocks, gravel, sand or rock dust.. Crushers may be used to reduce the size, or change the form, of waste materials so they can be more easily disposed of or recycled, or to reduce the size of a solid mix of raw materials (as in rock ore), so that pieces of different composition can be differentiated.
