quartzose pit-run material


Explanation:
Also "quarry-run", "random", "as-dug" for "pit-run", and "quartzous" for "quartzose".

<<These contractors sell all types of materials including pit run (unprocessed gravel), screened or crushed gravel, drain and septic rock, sand, and topsoil>>
[www.emr.gov.yk.ca/Lands/PDFs/Fact_Sheets/ Quarry-Permits.pdf]

>>Road restoration work would consist of reinforcing the road junction sub-grade with pit run material, reconditioning the existing roadbed, placing crushed aggregate on the road surface to a 6 inch depth (approx 110 cubic yards,) and constructing (2) rock armored rolling drain dips>>
[www.fs.fed.us/r6/siskiyou/planning/ quartz/quartz_chap2.pdf]

<<quartzose - 1. containing, or resembling, quartz; partaking of the nature or qualities of quartz.>>
