Properties of Schist Extracted in the City of Denizli Surroundings as Construction Material
There are various type of building stone extracted at stone quarries in the city of Denizli surroundings. Travertine, limestone and schist quarries are the most common in the area. Schist that is one of the units of Menderes massive is the main natural stone sources in Çal, Bekilli and Baklan Triang...
