2	Able to classify detritic and carbonate sedimentary rocks as macroscobic.
3	Able to relate being buildingstone with kind of detritic and carbonate sedimentary rocks.
4	Able to carry out descriptive investigation of a buildingstone or potantially buildingstone.
5	Able to make specific maps including building Stone charecteristics of sedimentary rocks.
6	Able to compare different sedimentary rocks using as buildingstones.
7	Able to establish litostratigraphic section of buildingstone sequences.
8	Able to evaluate characteristics of buildingstone at solving of production and fabrication problems, in quary and factory.
