dc.description.abstractForty eight sediment samples, collected from 50-100m depth, have been analysed for their clay mineral composition and distribution. Kaolinite with chlorite (K + C) is the predominant mineral followed by illite and montmorillonite. K + C and illite appear to originate from the coastal red sediments and from the nearby Precambrian khondalites while montmorillonite is supplied by river Godavari from its drainage basin (Basaltic Deccan Traps) dispersed towards north by NE directed SW monsoon currents.
