[[Limestone]], [[dolomite]] and [[chalk]] form [[sedimentary]] layers, which can have large deposits of [[iron]]-bearing ore. [[Marble]] is a [[metamorphic layer]], so it can be found within almost any [[biome]]. Most significantly, marble can be found near [[igneous extrusive layer]]s (i.e. near [[volcano]]es and [[magma vent]]s), which is rare for any sedimentary layer*. |
:<sup>(* What this means is that it's very unusual for a map to have all three of magma, flux and high-iron-bearing sedimentary layers together. It can happen, and larger maps increase the chances of such, but it's unexpected when found close to each other.)</sup> | :<sup>(* What this means is that it's very unusual for a map to have all three of magma, flux and high-iron-bearing sedimentary layers together.

If your map has no flux on it (which is a common situation), then you can request it from the [[dwarf|dwarven]] traders (assuming the traders have access to flux, which is not guaranteed*). Make sure you order (flux material) ''stone'', which is in the material section, since you can't use flux'' blocks'' to create steel. | If your map has no flux on it (which is a common situation), then you can request it from the [[dwarf|dwarven]] traders (assuming the traders have access to flux, which is not guaranteed*).

Your [[steel]] industry may be better served by buying up everything they have that's made of steel, especially toys, instruments, and crafts, and [[melt]]ing it all down. {{verify}} |
