Extract

It has been found in many places that the mineralogy of a series of sediments varies according to the time of its deposition; and basal beds may not contain the same minerals, particularly the heavy minerals, as the upper beds of a series. This investigation was undertaken to see if there was any such variation throughout the vertical thickness of part of the Permian of North-West Australia.
