Biocalcarenites as construction materials in Santa Marina de Aguas Santas Church at Cordoba, Spain

J. Barrios Neira / L. Montealegre / A. Ortega / J. E. Meroño / M. J. Aguilera

This study consisted in characterizing the materials used to build Santa Marina de Aguas Santas Church at Cordoba and locating the original quarries. The techniques used in the lithological and chemical characterization included XRD, petrographic microscopy and electron dispersive scanning microscopy. The chemical index of weathering (CIW) was used to quantify the state of stone decay. The lithology and different types of alterations observed were mapped. A comparison of the material on the building to ancient quarries identified “Naranjo” as the possible site where the stone was originally quarried.
