Abstract:Attention is directed to the variability in quantitative relations between heavy minerals as a consequence of changes in the texture of sediments. It is suggested that for quantitative comparisons of heavy minerals, materials of the same grade-size should be utilized.Various methods in use for describing quantitative re[ations between heavy minerals are critically analysed. A new method of representation is suggested. A standard or type sample is selected. It is screened and the heavy minerals are separated fr… Show more
