Clay Partings in Gypsum Deposits in Southwestern Indiana
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2024
Abstract
Gypsum deposits of Mississippian age in southwestern Indiana contain several argillaceous partings. A study of these partings was made to find out what clay minerals are present in such an evaporite association.
The most abundant minerals in the clay partings are dolomite, gypsum, quartz, illite, chlorite and mixed-layer illite-montmorillonite. No kaolinite was found in any of the samples.
