Abstract

The occurrence of metahalloysite ‘nodules’ in the silica sand pocket deposits near Brassington, Derbyshire, is recorded for the first time. The geological surroundings are briefly described in an attempt to arrive at an explanation of the genesis of the ‘nodules.’ The history of attempts to work the deposits as china clay in the 18th century is included.
