Mineralogy of the carbonate sediments - western continental shelf of India
(Elsevier, 1981)
An X-ray diffraction study of forty-six sediment samples and three oolitic limestone samples from the western continental shelf of India shows that aragonite is the dominant carbonate mineral (99% maximum), followed by ...
Influence of estuaries on shelf sediment texture
(Tirunelveli: JCSONLINE, 1986)
Granulometric analyses of sediments on the western continental shelf of India demonstrate that the texture of inner continental shelf sediments (10 to 60 m water depth) appears to be determined by the size and number of ...
Fluctuation in glacial and interglacial sediment discharge of the River Indus as seen in the core from the Arabian Sea
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1985)
Sediment core from the upper continental slope off Saurashtra Coast has been analysed for CaCO sub(3) and coarse fraction contents in addition to planktonic foraminifera and clay mineralogy. Based on CaCO sub(3) and ...
Clay mineral distribution on tropical shelf: an example from the western shelf of India
(Indian Association of Sedimentology, 1989)
Seventy-five sediment samples collected from the Kerala continental shelf and slope during the 17th and 71st Cruises of RV Gaveshani were analysed by X-ray diffraction for clay mineral content. The distribution of total ...
Clay mineral distribution on the Kerala continental shelf and slope
(Geological Society of India, 1983)
Seventy-five sediment samples collected from the Kerala continental shelf and slope during the 17th and 71st Cruises of @iRV gaveshani@@ were analysed by X-ray diffraction for clay mineral cntent. The distribution of total ...
Heavy Minerals in the Sediments on the Outer Continental Shelf between Vengurla and Mangalore on the West Coast of India
(Geological Society of India, 1981)
Fifty-eight sediment samples from the outer continental shelf between Vengurla and Mangalore were analysed for heavy minerals consist of principally opaques, hornblende, epidote, garnet, sillimanite, hypersthene and zircon, ...
Surficial Sediments of the Continental Shelf off Karnataka
(Geological Society of India, 1981)
The continental shelf in this area is about 80 km wide and the edge of the shelf varies between 90 and 120 m water depth. Geologically modern fine-grained clastic sediments occur between the water depth. Geologically modern ...
Gypsum crystals in the inner shelf sediments off Maharashtra, India
(Geological Society of India, 1979)
Gypsum crystals have been found in the inner shelf silty clay/clayey silt off the Maharashtra Coast between Vengurla and Bombay. Generally these occur as euhedral single or twinned crystals of selenite. Very often shells ...
On the surficial sediments of the fresh water Naini Lake, Kumaun Himalaya, India
(Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore, 1994)
The 1.4 km long and 0.45-0.25 km wide crescent shaped Naini Lake in the Nainital District of Kumaun Himalaya, India is divided by an east-west running transverse Central Ridge into two sub-basins. These northwest and ...
Study of sub-surface sediments from northern Indian Ocean: Oceanic responses to climatic changes
(Palaeontol. Soc. India, 1994)
The mean diameter and variation in isotopic composition (delta sup(18)) in thest of Orbulina universa d'Orbigny have been measured in a sediment core collected from 3869 m water depth near the Carlsberg Ridge, northern ...
