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 ...
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 ...
Distribution and dispersal of clay minerals on the western continental shelf of India
(Elsevier, 1982)
Sediment samples distributed over a distance of 1700 km from the inner continental shelf of western India were analysed for their clay-mineral content by X-ray diffraction. The clay minerals present in the sediments, in ...
On the possibility of high-velocity tidal sterams as dynamic barriers to longshore sediment transport: evidence from the continental shelf off the Gulf of Kutch, India
(Elsevier, 1982)
Differences in the bathymetry, bottom topography and the abundance of mica and clay minerals on the continental shelf north and south of the Gulf of Kutch, a macrotidal bay, indicate the presence of two distinct sedimentary ...
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 ...
Comparative Study of the Topography and Sediments of the Western and Eastern Continental Shelves around Cape Comorin
(CSIR-NISCAIR, 1981)
Western and eastern continental shelves around Cape Comorin show 3 well-defined regions of depositional environments each having its own characteric features. The environments extend from Cochin to Quilon Quilon to Cape ...
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 ...
