STONE QUARRIES IN
OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma's 159 quarries tap the state's rich sedimentary geology, particularly the Arbuckle Mountains limestone that predates the Rockies. The Sooner State produces construction aggregate for its extensive highway system and supplies crushed stone to neighboring Texas and Kansas. Southeastern Oklahoma's Ouachita Mountains yield novaculite and sandstone, while central operations extract Permian-age limestone and gypsum. Oklahoma's quarries support the state's infrastructure needs and export significant tonnage via a well-developed trucking network.
