Soon afterward in the United States, a similar material was obtained by burning a naturally occurring substance called "cement rock".
Marl, a compact calcareous clay, and cement rock contain both the calcareous and argillaceous components in proportions that sometimes approximate cement compositions.
North Dakota's resources include sand and gravel, cement rock, clay, salt, uranium, and volcanic ash, but its two most valuable have been lignite coal and petroleum.
A more recent work, Chris Burden's "Medusa's Head" (1989-92), is made of plywood, steel, cement rock, railroad track and seven model train cars.

About 5,400 emergency workers, firefighters, soldiers and volunteers, helped by 50 sniffer dogs, continued to sift through piles of cement, rock and twisted metal, many pointing out that the last survivor from the L'Aquila quake was found 72 hours after it struck.
Factors affecting the interaction of cement-casing and cement-rocks and the formation of micro-annulus were analyzed.
Table 2 Cement-Rock-Brine-CO2 Experiments.
When the plastic melts, it cements rock fragments, sand, and shell debris together, or the plastic can flow into larger rocks and fill in cracks and bubbles to form a kind of junkyard Frankenstein.
Tensile strength of cement-steel and cement-rock interfaces is an important input parameter when predicting well integrity failure in petroleum industry as well as during underground CO2 storage.
There it sat, upside-down, perched atop a scree of earth, broken cement slabs, rocks, and trees.
