The character, horizon, and extent of ten kaolin tonsteins occurring in the Westphalian strata of the North Staffordshire Coalfield are described, and four additional horizons considered worthy of further study, when this is possible, are noted. The value of these kaolin tonsteins in correlation, and the possibility that they may fall into two groups having different origins, is briefly discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
