Mineralogy of heavy mineral separates from sediments of Kangaroo Island, South Australia.

Published: 07 Jun 1902 Created: 12 Nov 2024 Revised: 12 Nov 2024

Author: Mason, D.R.

35 surface samples of various clastic sediments deposited on Kangaroo Island were studied microscopically to see if the respective abundances, composition and mineralogical features of their heavy mineral grain components might shed light on possible source terrains of the sediments, and might assist with making a distinction between Permian and Mesozoic sediments in what otherwise appear, to the naked eye, to be more-or-less continuous stratigraphic sequences.
