Among the three major types of rock, fossils are most commonly found in sedimentary rock. Unlike most igneous and metamorphic rocks, sedimentary rocks form at temperatures and pressures that do not destroy fossil remnants.ost sedimentary rocks contain either quartz (especially siliciclastic rocks) or calcite (especially carbonate rocks). In contrast to igneous and metamorphic rocks, a sedimentary rock usually contains very few different major minerals.
How many tons for a 1500 sq ft home. I have been getting bids for an ac unit in my home and I have been getting a range of 3 tons to 3.5 tons. I live in Dallas Texas and my home is pretty well shaded during the days and the majority of my windows face north or south.
One of the first things I do is to apply my rule of thumb. Understand here that the standard practice among HVAC contractors sizing air conditioners for new homes is to use a rule of thumb. It's often in the neighborhood of 1 ton of air conditioning capacity for each 600 square feet of conditioned floor area, usually abbreviated 600 sf/ton. So, when I get a Manual J, I find the capacity and the conditioned floor area and calculate that number. I find out what the square feet per ton is for the house. If this is supposed to be an ENERGY STAR home, it shouldn't be 600 sf/ton. It should be more like 1000 sf/ton or higher. That's my rule of thumb.
