A prehistoric clamshell is buried by sediment. Over time, the sediment turns to rock, and the shell is dissolved by groundwater. This process leaves a shell-shaped cavity in the rock. This cavity is a type of fossil called a mold.

True or False: Low Specific Gravity minerals (less heavy) will drop out of moving water first if the water speed decreases. True or False: Gemstones with high specific gravities and hardness tend to become concentrated in secondary deposits. A type of deposit where gems and metals settle after being released from a rock is a: a. Kimberlite deposit b. Pegmatite deposit c. Secondary deposit d. Hydrothermal vein deposit Which pair of geologic processes are required for gemstones to become concentrated in a placer (alluvial) environment? a. Subduction and melting b. Weathering and erosion c. Mountain building and subduction d. Hydrothermal activity and fracturing Which statement below is not true? a. Gems crystallize/form from magmas but not from lavas b. Magma and lava come from the same source deep within the Earth c. Magma and lava are hot, molten rocks rich in fluids and gases. d. Magma results in intrusive rocks and lava results in extrusive rocks Agate and opal form from fluids in a cavity and are MOST commonly found in this type of environment: a. In an igneous body that brings them up to the surface as lava flows b. In a high temperature and pressure environment c. In a sedimentary environment d. In a regional metamorphic environment Sri Lanka still utilizes simple mining methods to extract corundum and other gems from which main type of deposit? a. Pegmatite Deposit b. Hydrothermal Deposit c. Gravel Placer Deposits d. Volcanic Deposit Which is true of sedimentary gemstones? a. They crystallize at or near the Earth's surface from hydrothermal solutions b. They grow at great temperatures and pressures c. They crystallize directly from pegmatites d. They form from solidifying lava as it moves towards Earth's surface A spinel found in metamorphic rock or an aquamarine found within a pegmatite are examples of what type of deposit? a. Metamorphic deposit b. Primary deposit c. Hydrothermal deposit d. Secondary deposit Atmospheric agents erode and transport rocks to the seabed where they are compressed and merged with others to form what type of rocks? a. Sedimentary rocks b. Gravel rocks c. Metamorphic rocks d. Mantle rocks e. Igneous rocks
