Carbonate mineralogy and faunal relationship in tropical shallow water marine sediments: Cape Comorin, India
(Elsevier, 1982)
The carbonate mineralogy of Recent sediments from the western and eastern continental shelves around Cape Comorin off the southern tip of India was determined by X-ray diffraction analyses. The results show that in the ...
