Yep, and at today's Coal Posted Price,
the Ancient's Prospect is economical.
We're going to dig it!

Stonehenge Building Materials:
For those unfamiliar with the 5 basic rock types at Stonehenge;
here is a list of them, in chronological order of their first arrival.
85 MYA
White Chalk - The outcrop sedimentary rock of Stonehenge is Late
Cretaceous Period, Santonian Age, calcium carbonate. Late Cretaceous
Period outcrop sedimentary rock is the in situ construction material
used by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 85
million years old. This stone is called Seaford Chalk Formation rock.
White in color, this building material is from Stonehenge Ditch Mining
area.
3100 BC
Whitestone - The oldest limestone sedimentary rock of Stonehenge is
Early Carboniferous (Mississippian) Period, Arundian Age, calcium
carbonate. Early Carboniferous Period limestone sedimentary rock is
the first (1st) construction material imported by the Stonehenge
builders. This material is approximately 340 million years old. This
stone is called High Tor (Birnbeck) Limestone Formation rock. White in
color, this building material is from South Wales Coalfield area.
3000 BC
Cosheston - The oldest sandstone sedimentary rock of Stonehenge is
Devonian Period micaceous silicate. Devonian Period sandstone
sedimentary rock is the second (2nd) construction material imported by
the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 408 million
years old. This stone is called Senni Beds (Old Red Sandstone)
Formation rock. Green in color, this building material is from South
Wales Coalfield area.
2600 BC
Bluestone - The volcanic rock (oldest geologically) of Stonehenge is
Ordovician Period intrusive igneous diabase (dolerite) and extrusive
igneous felsite (rhyolite) and tuff (basic). Ordovician Period igneous
rock is the third (3rd) construction material imported by the
Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 470 million years
old. This stone is called Ordovician Volcanic rock. Black in color,
this building material is from South Wales Coalfield area.
2200 BC
Sarsen - The youngest sandstone sedimentary rock of Stonehenge is
Oligocene-Miocene (Tertiary) Period silicate. Oligocene-Miocene Period
sandstone sedimentary rock is the fourth (4th) construction material
imported by the Stonehenge builders. This material is approximately 24
million years old. This stone is called Reading Formation rock. Gray
in color, this building material is from Marlborough Downs Mining
area.
Note that this order is consistent with both rock transport theories;
rock transported by a glacier and rock transported by the Ancient.
Both! One twice! Hope this helps!
