Solution Etching of Detrital Staurolite

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Attention has recently been directed, particularly by the writings of Boswell (1942) and Smithson (1941, 1942), to the instability of detrital minerals. In nearly all cases where etching of mineral grains has been described the rocks have been deposited under water, as members of a continuously sedimentary series.
