Like other towns in the County, Mint Hill has changed a lot in recent years. Instead of having to go elsewhere to dine out, shop or work, Mint Hill has many options these days. I once worked in Mint Hill, and got to know the town and its people well.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is composed primarily of calcite. It forms from both the chemical precipitation of calcium carbonate and the transformation of shell, coral, fecal and algal debris into calcite during diagenesis.
Marble and slate are examples of metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock is formed under extreme pressure combined with heat over time. Metamorphic rocks are so called because they always begin as another type of rock. When slate forms, some of the clay from the original rock is replaced by the mineral mica.arble is a type of metamorphic rock that originates from limestone. Schist is a type of metamorphic rock that can originate from slate which is another type of metamorphic rock. The word metamorphic literally means changed form. Slate, a metamorphic rock, can form from shale, clay or mudstone.
