Conway granite Conway granite Conway granite is a typically pink mineral-rich igneous (or mesoperthitic) biotite granite. It is amphibole-free and of coarse particle size (with portions of the rock fine-grained or porphyritic). Conway granite has a relatively high concentration of thorium, at about 56 (±6) PPM; this amount is not enough to make the granite dangerously radioactive, but it is sufficient to make the rock a low-grade (almost certainly not economic, at least in the early years) source of thorium for a thorium fuel cycle. Geologist Edward Hitchcock named the granite in 1877 after the town of Conway, New Hampshire, which is

The Granite bowl's score board is the same scoreboard that the University of Georgia used in Sanford Stadium. It was the scoreboard that was used before the stadium was enclosed and renovated. This scoreboard is also the same one that was used during Georgia's 1980 national championship season. One of the many traditions involved with the Granite Bowl Stadium is touching the spirit rock atop the closed end of the stadium before each game. Hudson Cone, a spokesman for the Granite Association, states that the rock is
