This is a well-crafted  slate memorial to a wagon
The slab reads *in memory of a wagon / Scuttled in the year 80*

Being the noob here I must ask, how does one read things like engravings and slabs? I've gotten Dacite at this game but am still learning the ropes as of Slately; like how all my efforts against sieges are Rutile and I never can seem to jet any type of iron ore.

Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

Ok guys. Although your puns are very gneiss, everyone please put on their chert before this gets out of hand.

When placing a slab (ALT+S) press X to select a specific slab, if you have engraved slabs in storage you should see "X named guy's slab", selecting it with V will bring up the item screen and description.

Using the K marker just shows the material name + slab.
Q tells you to whom it was engraved when placed, but nothing else.

You can read the memorial of any slab including placed slabs.

Just go into the stock pile, go to the slabs, and hit x to bring up individual slabs. Then you can select and read them.

That is how I found that one memorial with the gneiss saying about being united with schist.

Was the geology injoke a reference to how easily schist breaks apart? As is, it's kind of like a mathematician being united with division in death.

Marble we should Calcite the puns off and Jet back to Mica-ing conversations about Schist on memorial slabs.

Bauxite want to keep Mica-ing puns. Granite, it gets Borax after a while, but no one can resist puns.
