Eleventh Biennial Report

of the

Florida Geological Survey

INTRODUCTION

During the biennium, January 1, 1953, through December 31,
1954, the Florida Geological Survey had the greatest demand for
geological information in the history of the Survey. It is most
encouraging that requests for services of the Survey are increas-
ing phenomenally as is evidenced by the widespread manner in
which the public, industry and educational institutions seek basic
and highly technical data through personal calls, correspondence
and requests for literature.
The Geological Survey continues- to operate on a very modest
budget, but regardless of this, the staff is made up of thoroughly
trained and experienced personnel who do research and make in-
vestigations and prepare reports on geological subjects directly
related to their respective fields of specialization. The Survey
has, however, been financially unable to attract to its staff mem-
bers trained in paleontology. Florida is a state replete with both
vertebrate and invertebrate fossils and highly trained specialists
are needed to more thoroughly investigate and report upon such
deposits.
The unprecedented drought that began with 1954 still continues.
Fortunately, 1953 was the second wettest year of record and the
effects of the drought were therefore somewhat delayed; however,
certain sections of Florida were severely affected during the latter
part of 1954 and extending into 1955. Such conditions added very
materially to the duties of the Survey, for as the water table low-
ered and some springs and shallow wells went dry, requests for
data and help increased to an unprecedented high level. The Sur-
vey was fortunate to render the assistance necessary to solve the
problems, although at times facilities were taxed.

10 CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT-GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

PUBLICATIONS
During 1953 and 1954, ten resource studies covering water re-
sources, Miocene stratigraphy and fauna, Eocene faunas, Phos-
phorus in Florida waters, the geology and stratigraphy of five
counties and the petrology of Eocene rocks were published. These
papers were printed in the Bulletins, Reports of Investigation and
Information Circulars-three of the standard series of publica-
tions issued by this Department.
The editions of all Survey reports are limited to 3,000 copies;
consequently, the distribution is restricted. In order that the
greatest number can have access to the publications a copy of each
is deposited in hundreds of large reference libraries throughout the
United States and many foreign countries, and in a number of in-
stitutional and private libraries. In addition, a selected list of
seven publications, eagerly sought by the teachers in secondary
schools, are deposited in the high school libraries of the State upon
request for a reference file. The Survey has prepared a study set
of characteristic minerals and rocks found in Florida with de-
scriptive information concerning each as a further aid to public
school teachers. These are available for one dollar a set of 18
specimens, the approximate cost of assembling.

ACTIVITIES OF THE SURVEY
As a result of technical help and data that the Survey is able
to furnish Industry, Agriculture, and local and state agencies, the
Florida Geological Survey is one of the State departments that
brings more wealth into the State than it expends from funds
appropriated by the Legislature from general revenue. It is a
fact-finding, scientific, research department that operates under
the State Board of Conservation through the Director. The Survey
employs presently six geologists, two technicians, three clerks, a li-
brarian and two laboratory aides. With this small staff and a
modest budget, several hundred studies have been undertaken and
have resulted in as many papers covering the mineral wealth and
water resources of the State.
We are proud of the fact that the total output and value of
mineral wealth produced in the State has steadily climbed and that
the total value exceeded 90 million dollars in 1954. The pride that
the Survey takes in this growth of the industry is that much of the
advance was based on the research and on mineral discoveries made
by the Survey. During the past biennium the Survey has assisted,

ELEVENTH BIENNIAL REPORT

by studies already published and through field assistance, in locat-
ing two deposits of rutile, ilmenite and other heavy minerals, upon
which plants are being constructed and mining will soon begin.
Since the start of the Survey in 1907 a library of rock cuttings
from wells throughout Florida and adjacent States has been main-
tained. This library now includes samples from 3500 wells drilled
for water supply, drainage, or for oil. These samples are im-
portant leads to new mineral wealth, and to the expansion of our
knowledge of known resources. The well cuttings are keys to the
stratigraphy, geology, and structure of the State and have been
very useful to the oil geologists in the search for oil in Florida.
But by far the most important use of these samples, in total value
to the economy of the State, is the record of ground-water resources
and the conditions under which they occur. Water is the most
valuable of all of our mineral resources and probably the least
valued by the citizens of Florida.
Florida is fortunate to have what is reported to be the most
prolific and largest distribution system of artesian water in the
world. The formations making up this aquifer, as are many of
the formations that over lie it, are filled with sweet, potable water
of such high purity and quality, that little treatment other than for
public health precautions is necessary. This acquifer leaks natu-
rally through more than one hundred known and measured springs,
seven times more water than required for all the supplies for mu-
nicipal, domestic and industrial uses in the State. This leakage,
about 31/2 billion gallons of water per day, is not used for any
purpose other than for recreation.
The water facts covering this great resource have been gath-
ered and tabulated by Survey personnel since the initiation of the
Survey in 1907. Beginning in 1930 the State Survey has cooper-
ated with the Federal Survey in water resource studies and from
this association there has accumulated a long record of the water
levels, movements, quantity, quality, and the associated geology.
It is hoped that these continued records will lead ultimately to the
complete understanding of the hydrology and geology of Florida
and that this knowledge will be useful in preventing water short-
ages and troubles in the future.
In the attempt to offer a greater service in trouble shooting in
ground-water problems in Florida, the Survey has purchased sev-
eral technical machines that have proved their adaptability and
worth in locating the source of salt water and bacterial contamina-

tion, in reconditioning old wells where the casing is thought to be
defective, in determining the depth of wells and the length of casing
in old wells on which no records are available. In particular, the
Widco electric logging machine has saved the city, county and
State agencies, together with some industrial and private interests
where consulting services were not available, several times the
amount of money used to purchase the logging machine.
An improved Mobile auger has been very satisfactory in ob-
taining samples of the hard rock beneath the sand and detrital
cover that blankets most of Florida. Foundations for dam sites
have been tested and certain stratigraphic problems have been
solved by the use of this machine.
During the biennium a number of specific problems were solved
through the use of the Widco logging machine and the Mobile
auger. These are listed as follows:

Electric and geologic logging:
1) The wells at the abandoned Morris plant of Armour and Company,
Bartow, Florida, were found to be in shape to use at the new plant
now being constructed.
2) A permanent record was made of the new supply well for the Uni-
versity of Florida.
3) Salt-water contamination of the water supply in some wells along
a portion of the Panama City Beach was studied and recommenda-
tions made to combat the problem.
4) The Santa Rosa Island Authority was assisted in an attempt to
secure a deep water supply through a well drilled on the island.
5) A record was made of the new water supply well for the City of
Marianna, Florida, and recommendations for casing and develop-
ment were made.
6) Cooperated with the United States Geological Survey in ground-
water and geologic study for proposed site for the Chemstrand Cor-
poration plant in Escambia county.
7) Records were made of the Farmers State Market well near Quincy,
with recommendations for development in this area where water
supply is difficult to obtain.
8) Recommendations made for reconditioning an old well of the Clinton
Foods, Inc., in Highlands County.
9) An old well was reconditioned for the town of Webster, Florida.
10) Several water supply wells were logged and studied for the city of
Tallahassee, Florida.
The Mobile rig was used for:
1) An investigation of the soil, the subsurface formations and the
hydrology at the Chipola Experimental Forest in cooperation with
the United States Department of Agriculture.

ELEVENTH BIENNIAL REPORT 13

2) The foundation site for a proposed dam to control the waters in
Lake Miccosukee was surveyed for Leon and Jefferson county
authorities.
3) The stratigraphy of the Lake Bradford area was studied to deter-
mine the cause of the low water levels.

In the cooperative program of water resource studies several
investigations are being conducted by the personnel of the Federal
Survey, with some assistance being given by those of the State
Survey. On December 31, 1954, the following projects were being
undertaken:

1) The geology and ground-water resources of Lee and Charlotte
counties, Florida.
2) Investigation of the ground-water resources of Brevard County,
Florida.
3) Investigation of the ground-water resources in southwestern Hills-
borough County.
4) Investigation of the ground-water resources of Manatee County,
Florida.
5) Investigation of the ground-water resources of Indian River County,
Florida.
6) Investigation of the ground-water resources of Glades and Hendry
counties, Florida.
7) Investigation of the ground-water resources of the Foley area,
Taylor County, Florida.
8) Investigation of the ground-water resources of Volusia County,
Florida.
9) Investigation of the ground-water resources of Polk County, Florida.
10) Continuing studies of ground-water fluctuations.

Geologic studies being undertaken at end of biennium:
1) The Ocala group of Jackson age.
5) The geology of Jackson County.
3) The tabulation and description of Florida's mineral resources.
4) The geology of the Jim Woodruff dam site.
5) The geology of Jackson County.
6) The stratigraphy of Florida as determined by geologic studies of
rock cuttings taken from wells drilled in search of oil and water.

The results of these studies on geology and water resources will
eventually be published as a portion of the regular editions issued
by the Survey.

OIL EXPLORATION

Exploration for oil and gas in Florida continued actively during
the biennium. The Pollard Field in Alabama stimulated activities
in the western portion of Florida and the discovery of oil in the
Forty-Mile Bend Field on the Tamiami Trail about 40 miles west
of Miami accelerated exploration in that area. In 1954 there were
29 wells completed and seven were drilling on January 1, 1955.
Two wells were completed as producers. The total footage drilled
in 1953 was 211,089; in 1954 the footage was 198,127.
The Forty-Mile Bend Field. This new field is about 40 miles
west of Miami on the Tamiami Trail. The Commonwealth Oil
Company, et al., No. 1 M. B. Wiseheart-State Board of Education
well was completed February 6, 1954, with an initial production
of 76 barrels of oil per day, gravity 21.2 API at 600. The total
depth of this well is 11,557 feet; the producing zone is the Sunni-
land at 11,322-11,339 feet. Total production during 1954 was
10,673 barrels of oil, or an average of about 32 barrels per day.
A second producer was brought in by the Gulf Oil Corporation,
the No. 1 State of Florida-Lease 340 well, about 3 miles east of the
discovery well. This well was completed April 5, 1954, at a total
depth of 11,352 feet. The initial production was 112 barrels of
oil per day, gravity 21.7 API at 60'. During 1954 this well pro-
duced 10,819 barrels of oil, or an average of about 40 barrels
per day.
Additional tests in that immediate area have not been successful
as commercial producers, although they have yielded encouraging
shows.
The production from Florida's two fields, the Sunniland and
the Forty-Mile Bend, is given in Table 1.

16 CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT-GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS AND MAPPING
From the very beginning of the United States Geological Survey
in 1879, it was evident that neither land classification nor conclu-
sive geologic determinations could be made without accurate base
maps. In order to make a systematic study of the geology and
natural resources of the United States it was first necessary to
make the maps and in 1882 the Topographic Division of the U. S.
Geological Survey was organized. Since that time that division
has been engaged in making a series of standard topographic maps
to cover the entire United States. This monumental undertaking
has received the support of many private organizations as well as
other Federal and State agencies. The State of Florida is the only
State in the United States that has not had a cooperative mapping
program with the U. S. Geological Survey. A number of Federal
agencies in addition to the U. S. Geological Survey are or have
been engaged in the preparation of topographic maps, the most
outstanding of these are the Coast and Geodetic Survey, The Gen-
eral Land Office, the Department of the Army, the Forest Service
and the Tennessee Valley Authority. All of the topographic maps
that have been prepared and published are now distributed by the
United States Geological Survey.

The topographic maps so far completed of Florida cover an
area equal to approximately 40 per cent of the State. Some of
these were published before 1900, consequently they are far out-
of-date in regard to present day culture. These older maps were
prepared under standards of accuracy that are far below those
required by present day map users and makers. The portion of
Florida that is either mapped or in progress of being mapped is
illustrated in Figure 1. This illustration was prepared by the
Topographic Division, U. S. Geological Survey, to show the status
of topographic mapping in Florida as of April 1, 1955.

18 CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT-GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Standard topographic maps are issued for areas that are bound-
ed by parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude. Such areas
are called quadrangles and the quadrangle may be one degree; 30
minutes; 15 minutes; or 712 minutes of latitude and longitude.
Some of the quadrangle maps of Florida are issued in the 15 minute
series and others in the 71/ minute series. Each of the individual
quadrangles has been named and Figure 2 is an index to these
quadrangle names. The numbers have no significance and are
useful only in locating the quadrangle or map name in the accom-
panying lists. Topographic maps are for sale by the U. S. Geo-
logical Survey and must be ordered by quadrangle name. Orders
should be addressed to the Chief of Distribution, Geological Sur-
vey, Washington 25, D. C. The price is 20 cents per copy and
payment by money order or check, payable to the Geological Sur-
vey, should accompany all orders.

Topographic maps may also be purchased from the following
companies:

Fort Pierce:
Horton's, 122 North Second Street.
Gainesville:
Campus Shop & Book Store, University of Florida.
Jacksonville:
The H. & W. B. Drew Company.
The Nautical Supply Company, 15 North Newnan Street.
Tampa:
Poston Marine Supply Company, P. O. Box 425.

Many libraries maintain map reference facilities where the
published maps of the Geological Survey may be consulted. In
Florida, maps are deposited in the libraries listed below:
Gainesville:
The University Libraries, University of Florida.
Tallahassee:
The Library, Florida State University.
Florida Geological Survey.
Winter Park:
Mills Memorial Library, Rollins College.

ELEVENTH BIENNIAL REPORT

FLORIDA MINERAL INDUSTRY DURING 1952 and 1953
Statistics Collected in Cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Mines

The development and diversification of the mineral industry
in Florida are dependent upon the utilization of materials ordi-
narily classified as nonmetallic minerals. The foremost mineral
products of the State are phosphate, limestone, sand and gravel,
fuller's earth, kaolin, cement, heavy minerals including ilmenite,
rutile, zircon and monazite, petroleum, peat, and abundant supplies
of ground water.

Value of Production
The value of Florida production of minerals and rock materials
increased between the year 1940 and 1953, from less than $15
million to over $91 million, a rise of 516 per cent. The rate of
increase in Florida value was well above that of the national
average. From 1932 through 1945, the average annual increase
in value amounted to $1,400,000; from 1945 through 1953, there
has been an annual increase of $8,400,000.
The remarkable expansion shown in Table 2 was made possible
through an increase in the quantity and value of all mineral and
rock products produced. For the year 1940, Florida ranked thirty-
fifth among the states in the value of minerals produced. By 1947,
Florida's rank among the states in value of mineral products had
increased to twenty-eight, and this position has been maintained
through 1951. For comparison with the rank of other states in
the southeastern United States for the year 1951, North Carolina
ranked 36; South Carolina, 42; Georgia, 32; Tennessee, 26; and
Alabama, 20. Florida led all states in the quantity of phosphate
rock, rutile, and zircon produced in 1951; placed second in ilmenite,
and third in peat and garnet production. The principal mineral
products of Florida listed in order of their value are phosphate
rock, limestone, cement, sand and gravel.

Phosphate Rock

Production of Phosphate. Of the mineral products mined in
Florida, phosphate easily takes first place both in value and in
quantity. Production began in 1888. Since 1894, when it replaced
South Carolina, Florida has consistently produced more phosphate
rock than any other state. During the interval from 1888 to 1953,
inclusive, 167,295,284 long tons of phosphate have been mined at
a total recorded value at the mines of $1,185,051,944. During 1952
and 1953, the production record of the phosphate industry reached
new highs, and continued to overshadow the records of the other
mineral industries of the state. The total quantity of land-pebble,

ELEVENTH BIENNIAL REPORT

hard-rock, and soft-rock or colloidal phosphate that was sold or
used by producers reached 8,781,125 long tons in 1952, and
9,166,855 long tons in 1953. The value at the mines as reported
by the producing companies for these quantities of raw phosphate
rock amounted to $51,541,799 in 1952 and $55,612,272 in 1953.
The major portion of the production comes from the land-pebble
district in Polk and Hillsborough counties, but small quantities
of hard-rock phosphate were mined in Citrus County and colloidal
phosphates were produced in Citrus, Columbia, Gilchrist and
Marion counties.
Uranium. The most important development in the phosphate'
industry during the past few years was the research that led to
the commercial production of uranium from phosphate rock. Rec-
ords indicate that uranium has been known since 1908 as a very
minor component of the extensive Florida phosphate deposits.
Only recently, however, methods of recovery of these small quan-
tities of uranium, amounting approximately from 3 to 6 ounces
per ton, have been developed and demonstrated to be commer-
cially feasible. The U. S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with
the Atomic Energy Commission, has been making detailed in-
vestigations of the land-pebble phosphate deposits since 1947. Five
companies have plants in which uranium is recovered from phos-
phoric acid as a by-product in the process of manufacturing phos-
phate chemicals and concentrated commercial fertilizers., The
International Minerals and Chemical Corporation (Bartow) and
the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Corporation (Nichols) have each
had uranium extraction units in production for some time. The
U. S. Phosphoric Products Division, Tennessee Corporation
(Tampa), is constructing facilities for the recovery of by-product
uranium. Two plants located outside of Florida are recovering
uranium from Florida material. These are the Blockson Chemical
Company, Joliet, Illinois, and the Texas City Chemicals, Inc.,
Texas City, Texas.

Heavy Mineral Sands
Mines and ore-producing plants. The only metallic ores mined
in Florida are recovered from sand deposits that contain grains
of a number of heavy minerals. The ore minerals-rutile, ilmen-
ite, zircon, monazite, garnet, and staurolite-are mined and con-
centrated through the removal of the quartz sand. The concentrate
of heavy mineral grains is then separated into the rather pure
mineral components. This separation is accomplished by magnetic

concentrate is separated into its ore components by electro-static and electro-
magnetic methods. Photograph courtesy of the Humphreys Gold Corporation.

ELEVENTH BIENNIAL REPORT

and electrostatic methods. Beach and other coastal deposits of
sand, including inland deposits of ancient shore lines that are com-
posed of from three to seven or more per cent heavy minerals,
are processed commercially, Four plants that produce these ores
are located in the State:'one, approximately eight miles east of
Jacksonville, Duval county; two, near Starke in the Camp Bland-
ing area, Clay county; and the fourth in the vicinity of Melbourne,
Brevard county. (See photograph on cover and Figure 3.)
The Highland Plant operated by the Humphreys Gold Corpo-
ration for the E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company is the sec-
ond mine and heavy mineral separation plant on Trail Ridge, Clay
County. This plant located nine miles north of the installation in
the Camp Blanding area was scheduled to begin production in
March, 1955. In size, the new mine and plant is similar to the
Trail Ridge plant where about 20,000 long tons of ore per day are
processed to produce 100,000 long tons of titanium mineral a year.
The exploration divisions of several major mining companies, as
well as a number of smaller companies and individuals, are active
in conducting a search for additional deposits from which the
heavy minerals may be recovered. (See Figure 4.) This search
has extended over the entire state, along modern, as well as ancient,
coast lines and in the off-shore area popularly called the tidelands.
Titanium minerals: rutile and ilmenite. Rutile is used chiefly
in welding-rod coatings, alloys, carbide and in ceramics. Titanium
enamels are reported to be superior to zirconium enamels. Ilmen-
ite, while used in making alloys and carbide, finds its greatest
use in the manufacture of titanium dioxide paint pigment, which
is produced in greater quantities than any other white pigment.
Public interest in titanium has increased during the past few years
by recent technical developments that foreshadow the use of titani-
um metal as a structural material. Limited quantities of com-
mercially pure titanium metal have been made in the United States
since 1945, and the quantity has increased yearly. The use of
titanium metal is limited, at the present time, to such items as jet-
engine parts and aircraft structure, where the combination of
lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance are important enough
to justify the cost of $5.00 per pound.
Zircon. The major uses of zircon are in the ceramic industries
to produce enamels, porcelains and glazes, and in alloy production
not only of steel but also of magnesium, copper, titanium, and
nickel. The addition of zirconium imparts strength, toughness,

corrosion resistance, and creep resistance at high temperatures.
Some of these alloys are suitable for jet and gas turbine engine
parts. Some zirconium metal finds use in vacuum-tube parts
while the powdered metal is used for flashlight powders, flares,
fireworks and detonators. Ground zircon, either in loose grains
or in bricks or cements, is an acid type refractory material that
can withstand very high temperatures.
Monazite. Monazite makes up only a small portion of the
heavy mineral concentrates found in Florida. 'This mineral con-
tains the group of elements known as the rare-earths, and the
compounds and alloys of these elements have important commer-
cial applications. Misch-metal, a mixture of rare-earth elements
with cerium predominating, is combined with iron to form the
"flints" used in cigarette lighters, miners' lamps, and other prod-
ucts. Alloys of magnesium and aluminum with cerium have appli-
cation in the construction of gas turbines, aircraft super-charger
parts, jet planes, and other equipment that demands high tensile
strength at high temperatures.; In the complicated chemical struc-
ture of monazite, varying amounts of thorium, a potential source
of fissionable material, are found. The whole group of rare-earth
elements has been subjected to intensive scientific study by the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Garnet. The grains of garnet sands, a product of the Florida
Ore Processing Company's mineral separation plant, are sold to
monument works to be used as blast sand, and to filling stations
and garages throughout the country to clean spark plugs.

Staurolite. The first industrial use of the mineral staurolite
was made possible when that mineral became available in quan-
tity at the heavy mineral separation plant located on Trail Ridge,
Clay County. This product contains more than 45 per cent A120O
and is used by the Lehigh Portland Cement Company at their
Bunnell plant as a source of alumina in the mix for Portland
cement manufacture instead of the customary clay.

Selected Mineral Products
Cement. Portland cement has been produced in Florida for
25 years by the Florida Portland Cement Division, Tampa, of the
General Portland Cement Company, Chicago, Illinois. This plant
began operation in 1927, producing cement from limestone ob-
tained north of Brooksville, Hernando county; and clay from a

46 CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT--GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

few miles distant in Citrus county. In an effort to meet more
nearly the increasing demands, the capacity of the Tampa plant
has been enlarged to its present size of four million barrels an-
nually.
In 1951, the Lehigh Portland Cement Company began the con-
struction of a cement mill on the east coast of Florida near Bun-
nell. This plant had an initial capacity of 1,400,000 barrels an-
nually and production began during December, 1952. During the
summer of 1954, an expansion program was announced which
when completed in the summer of 1955 will increase the plant
capacity to about 2,500,000 barrels. Coquina shell is quarried
adjacent to the mill to supply the calcium carbonate content; this
is the first extensive use of coquina. Another unique feature in
the use of raw products is that, in place of the usual argillaceous
material furnished in the form of clay, the mineral staurolite sup-
plies the alumina and a portion of the iron necessary in the manu-
facturing process. The staurolite residue is obtained from the
E. I. du Pont de Nemours Company's heavy minerals separation
plant near Starke. Although small quantities of staurolite have
been used as an abrasive in sand blasting, its use in manufacturing
of Portland cement marks the first important commercial utiliza-
tion of the mineral.
Petroleum. The discovery well of the Sunniland Oil Field,
Collier County-the first successful oil well drilled in Florida-
was brought in September 26, 1943, and produced 20,550 barrels
of asphaltic base, 20.80 API gravity oil before being converted to
a salt-water disposal well on May 10, 1946. The discovery well
was drilled by the Humble Oil and Refining Company, and this
company has further explored the region in the vicinity of Sunni-
land and has developed a small oil field of twelve wells that produce
from a horizon about 11,500 feet below the ground surface. Dur-
ing 1953, this field produced 541,284 barrels of oil and the total
cumulative production of the field up to January 1, 1954, was
3,307,753 barrels.
During the 14-year period from January 1, 1940, to January 1,
1954, 196 wells were drilled for oil and gas in Florida. Only 14
of these were completed as producing wells, 13 in the Sunniland
Field, and the other was the discovery well of the Forty-Mile Bend
Field, Dade County. This new field was discovered in December,
1953, and the second field well was brought in April, 1954. The
entire State of Florida remains a potential area for possible future

ELEVENTH BIENNIAL REPORT

discovery of additional petroleum fields. The drilling to date
has been exploratory and a sufficient number of wells have not
been drilled to eliminate any portion of Florida from the classifi-
cation of a potential producing area.
Limestone. Crushed limestone enters into road and highway
construction not only as road metal and aggregate for concrete
but also as the base material on which the highway is constructed.
These uses, together with concrete products and structural uses
for limestone aggregate, consume by far the greatest proportion of
limestone produced in the state. The lime and cement manufac-
turing industries also consume important quantities of limestone
annually. Smaller quantities are used for rip rap and railroad
ballast. Some types of limestone, particularly dolomitic limestone
and dolomite, are crushed to a fine powder and applied to soils
to sweeten them or to make them less acid.
Formerly the production of dimensional stone was an active
industry in the state but fashioning of stone into building blocks
currently utilizes only a minor portion of the rock produced. Con-
crete blocks and bricks, together with clay brick and tile have all
but replaced the native dimensional stone in the construction of
buildings and houses.
Clay. The clay industry of the state may be considered under
two groups: (1) common clay production and products and (2)
special purpose clays. Common clays are used in the manufacture
of structural products such as clay brick and tile and in the manu-
facturing of cement. The clay brick and tile industry in the state
has declined in recent years because of economic factors. Never-
theless, changing conditions now favor the reestablishment of the
industry. The quantity of common clay consumed by cement manu-
facturing has increased and in 1952 this industry consumed 85,598
tons. The quantity of common clay mined in the state is antici-
pated to increase steadily in the future to keep pace with expanding
demands created by the cement and brick-making industries.
Kaolin and fuller's earth. Two special purpose clays are pro-
duced in the state-kaolin from mines located in Putnam County,
and fuller's earth from mines in Gadsden County. The Florida
plastic kaolin enters into the ceramic industry where it is a stand-
ard ingredient in many types of white ware, tile, and porcelain.
Fuller's earth production has increased during the past 10 years
and the development of markets for absorbents for oily floors and
for carriers of insecticides and fungicides have resulted in larger

48 CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT-GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

shipments. Consumption of fuller's earth in mineral-oil refining
constitutes the chief use for the material. Other important uses
are for vegetable oil clarification and rotary drilling mud.

Ground water is the principal source of supply for industrial,
municipal, agricultural, and domestic uses in Florida. The daily
consumption of ground water by these four major uses is estimated
by the U. S. Geological Survey to average about 500 million gal-
lons. Although some critical problems of supply have arisen in
certain areas, vast quantities of ground water are available for
development over the major portion of Florida.
The daily draft of 500 million gallons from the ground-water
resources should not be a cause for concern in regard to the State
as a whole. Ground waters are naturally discharging many hun-
dred million gallons a day, much of which can be salvaged and
used whenever it is needed. The tremendous discharges of
Florida's large limestone springs forcibly demonstrate the large
capacity of the ground-water reservoirs. The combined average
daily flow from the 66 large springs located in the state is about
3,600,000,000 gallons, or more than five times greater than the
estimated total consumption of ground water in Florida. The flow
from the springs represents water in excess of the storage capa-
city of the underground reservoirs. The availability of large
water resources in Florida, in contrast with the shortages of sup-
ply in many other parts of the nation, may conceivably play a
dominant role in the agricultural and industrial growth of the
State. Even though plentiful reserves of ground water exist in
Florida as a whole, the increasing need for wise development of
future supplies should not be minimized. To protect these ground-
water reserves from waste and contamination will insure the con-
tinued growth of our state.
Current and Future Expansion
The abundant reserves of the mineral and rock resources that
are now mined in Florida assure existing industries that ample
quantities are available to meet the increased demands brought
about by continued growth of present markets and the demands
created by the development of new uses for these materials. The
increase in the quantity of production from 1940 to 1953 was over
three-fold for each of the three minerals shown in Table 3, or 223
per cent for phosphate, 235 per cent for limestone, and 222 per
cent for sand and gravel.

shipments. Consumption of fuller's earth in mineral-oil refining
constitutes the chief use for the material. Other important uses
are for vegetable oil clarification and rotary drilling mud.

ELEVENTH BIENNIAL REPORT

The rate of increase in the production of these rock materials
may be anticipated to become even greater in the future because
new uses will develop to create new markets, and the increased
population of the state and nation will require expansion of pres-
ent markets. Separate from population growth is the unpredict-
able rate at which new mineral resources will be discovered and
brought into production.

Mineral resources of the state that were latent in 1940 but have
since become materials of commerce include ilmenite, rutile, zircon,
garnet, staurolite, and monazite, all of which are recovered from
the heavy mineral sand deposits; petroleum and natural gas, dis-
covered in Florida in September, 1943; and by-product uranium
from processing phosphoric acid. The utilization of natural brine
or salt water to recharge municipal water softener units is rela-
tively new and may develop into widespread use. New products
and new uses create an expanding demand for materials. For
example, the use of fuller's earth as an absorbent for oily floors
began in 1943 and for a carrier of insecticide in 1945. These new
markets consume nearly one-half of the fuller's earth that is pro-
duced currently. New or expanded markets for common materi-
als, such as utilization of clay in the manufacture of light weight
aggregate and dolomite in the manufacture of mineral wool, await
development. The discovery and production of petroleum and
natural gas in quantity will make possible the establishment of

50 CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT-GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

many industries, including glass manufacture; chemical industries
based on brines and abundant reserves of pure limestone; and the
utilization of aluminum phosphate portion of the overburden that
is now discarded in the mining of phosphate pebble. Other ma-
terials that are high in alumina-the kyanite and sillimanite found
in the heavy mineral sands-may be expected to become items of
commerce.
