MINERALS MINERAL OILS Fossil fuel or mineral fuel, hydrocarbon and natural energy source containing high levels of carbon. Coal, oil and natural gas; is a prime example of such fuels. It is formed by the dissolution of dead living organisms in an oxygen-free environment for millions of years.

MINERALS DOLOMITE is used as an ornamental stone, a concrete aggregate, a source of magnesium oxide and in the Pidgeon process for the production of magnesium. It is an important petroleum reservoir rock, and serves as the host rock for large strata-bound Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) ore deposits of base metals such as lead, zinc, and copper. Where calcite limestone is uncommon or too costly, dolomite is sometimes used in its place as a flux for the smelting of iron and steel. Large quantities of processed dolomite are used in the production of float glass.
