neutral  Mira Stepanovic: "crushed stone" je drobljeni kamen i kao takav može biti i sitan i krupan; kamena sitnež može biti i prirodnog porekla, ne mora uopšte da znači da je dobijena drobljenjem kamena. / Tucani kamen = tucanik = broken stone. Radi se o veličini - kamena sitnež.

  -> Crushed stone je tucani kamen koji se koristi pri izgradnji puteva i železnica. Mislim da niko ne bi sabirao sitno kamenje u prirodi za putnu podlogu.
