Recent Sediments of the Central California Continental Shelf - Pigeon Point to Sand Hills Bluffs. Part B. Mineralogical Data,
Abstract
The heavy mineralogy of the sand fraction for 37 offshore, 9 beach and 3 stream samples for this region is determined optically. For each sample the percentage of the more diagnostic transparent minerals is plotted graphically in order of persistence; zircon, garnet, biotite, clinozoisite and epidote, lawsonite, green hornblende, oxy-hornblende, glaucophane, sphene, zoisite, augite, jadeite, hypersthene, enstatite, and tremolite and actinolite. Additional data on accessory transparent minerals, composite grains (rock fragments) and opaque minerals are listed with each graph. (Author)
