As a few people have said, that mineral you found is a mica. Specifically it's a mineral called muscovite. that was a nice large one you found and likely means that there is a type of rock called a pegmatite in the vicinity. Pegmatites are similar in composition to granite, but have much larger crystals because they have a very high water and volatile element content and are the last rocks to crystallize in a granitic pluton. A lot of rare minerals are found in pegmatites, and pegmatite deposits are where a lot of our rare earth elements are mined.

To me, any trail that requires sustained braking tells me it's wasting the elevation drop. Short bits, or for a feature rock section that's OK, but otherwise it's bad for the trail and the bikes. Lazy trail building - it needs to be cut more side slope and some switchbacks added.

You found muscovite mica. They used to be used for making oven windows and now they’re used for glazes and paints. Wanna add a shine to that paint or a special coloring to your candles? That’s what it’s used for. They’re super thin and can be found out in the wild around gneisses and schists. My guess is that you’re standing on a bunch of shale that’s been hardened by the same hot crust that’s used to form the hot springs that are up there in the Kootenays. There’s also a bunch of limestone and sandstone up there. Be careful for sudden falling rocks, limestone or water burns and happy riding!

Muscovite Mica is the clear flaky mineral you picked up. Biotite Mica is its darker sibling found in rocks like granite. Next time you ride a rock roll in Squamish, check out the relatively large mineral grains (which is why Squamish granite is so good for grip on bikes and for rock climbing) and look for black flaky ones- that's Biotite mica. The crystals for Mica grow in platy structures, hence why you can flake it apart so easily, and are similar to clay minerals (I'm a PhD student in geophysics at UBC FWIW)
@roseweeks80664 жыл бұрын
That flakey stuff is muscovite, a mineral in the mica family. You're likely riding on granite or granite-like rock that might be called a granite pegmatite since the mineral crystals are so big. Muscovite will form thin or sometimes thick "books". It's super fun to pull apart the flakes, right? Even the thinnest flakes are surprisingly quite strong and resistant to breaking when you bend them.

Mica is the collective name of the platey minerals which include; muscovite (clear), biotite (cola color), chlorite (green) etc.. large sheets of muscovite were used in Russia as windows as it was cheaper than glass. Muscovite was also mined extensively up to around the 1950’s and used in electronic capacitors.

That long steep hill reminded me of Penang Hill in Penang Malaysia. I lived there for 2 years and made numerous attempts to bike down the paved road and all attempts ended halfway in equipment failure and me walking the rest of the way. Caliper brakes heat the rim to the point where the inner tube fails. So I upgraded my bicycle to disc brakes but my tire pressure was too low so the tire and inner tube shifted backward on the rim tearing the valves off both inner tubes. The second time I attempted with disc brakes, the heat from the discs transferred to the cables and the brake cables snapped. It's just a long smooth paved road, but it's so steep, it seems impossible to ride non-stop from top to bottom without some type of bike failure. Honestly, this road is the steepest road I've ever seen! Nothing I've seen comes close.
@ZachsMind2 жыл бұрын
Okay I'm a college drop out but I actually paid a little attention in historical geology. There are three kinds of rock. Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Sedimentary rock forms layers deep in the ocean floor. One example of this is shale. The ocean above the fallen sediment brings great pressure to bear over millions of years, and there's also heat coming up from the center of the Earth. This intense pressure heats up the lower layers beneath the sea bed and above the Earth's center, causing the sediment to get so hot it goes from solid to liquid and then recrystallize into pegmatites. These pegmatites or microscopic mica minerals between layers of sediment form from shale into slate. Sedimentary rock placed under intense volcanic like heat becomes metamorphic. So this tells me these mountain bike trails used to be an ocean floor many millions of years ago. Texas has a lot of that stuff too. We even used to have mica mines back in the day. Most of Texas used to be an ocean bed too, so you'll find lots of marine life fossils down here, and very little igneous rock until you get up into Oklahoma.

Dont know if anyone is ever going to read this but that flaky white transparent sheet you found on the ground looks to be a mineral called muscovite (also known as mica). It is very common in rocks and can be seen as shiny white specs in the rocks. The reason it looks like a sheet like that is because the atoms that make ut the mineral are aligned i such a way that that the atomic bonds are weaker along one axis than another, so when you split the mineral it is easier to split along the axis of the weaker atomic bonds. These bonds are so weak you can practically split them with your hands, as you did in the video.
