Marine mineral resources of the Central Indian Basin: Ferromanganese nodules and crusts
(Gulf Pub., Houston, USA, 1996)
The morphology, mineralogy and composition of ferromanganese nodules and crusts from the Central Indian Basin and southwestern flank of the Charlsberg Ridge have been characterized from the analyses of data and samples ...
Aeolian deposition of Arabia and Somalia sediments on the southwestern continental margin of India
(Current Science Association, Bangalore, India, 1996)
Kaolinite, smectite, illite and chlorite as major clay minerals and palygorskite and gibbsite in minor quantities have been recorded from the slope of southwestern continental margin of India. Contribution of kaolinite, ...
A petrogenetic model of basalts from the Northern Central Indian Ridge: 3-11°S
(Geological Society of China, 2007)
Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalts (MORB) from Northern Central Indian Ridge (NCIR) were recovered between latitudes 30 and 110S and are olivine tholeiite with higher abundances of K and Rb. They are of typical transitional MORB ...
Australian minitektites discovered in the Indian Ocean
(Meteoritical Society, Fayetteville, USA, 1999)
Large area sampling with a box core in the Indian Ocean has led to the discovery of minitektites (> 1-3.75 mm long) and a tektite fragment (approx 1.25 mm) occuring with microtektites belonging to the Australasian tektite ...
Geochemistry of sediments
(Oxford and IBH, New Delhi, 2001)
Considering the potential of elemental data in marine sediments as diagnostic tools of various geological and oceanographic processes, sediment geochemical data from the Indian Ocean region has been reviewed in this article. ...
Size distribution and carbonate content of the sediments of the western shelf of India
(National Institute of Sciences of India, 1968)
Sediment samples collected during the 25th cruise of I.N.S. KISTNA (Indian Programme of I.I.O.E.) were analysed for grain size and carbonate content. The shelf sediments show well defined zonation, except where river-borne ...
Geochemistry of surficial sediments along the central southwest coast of India - Seasonal changes in regional distribution
(Coastal Education and Reserch Foundation, 2003)
The coastal sediments (129 samples) of central- southwest coast of India, in and around Cochin, the second biggest industrial city along the west coast of India, were analyzed for their textural and geochemical fractions ...
Petrology of seamounts in the Central Indian Ocean Basin: Evidence for near-axis origin
(Springer, 1995)
Previous studies on the distribution and morphology of ancient seamount chains (>50 Ma) in the Central Indian Ocean basin (CIOB) indicated their generation from the fast spreading Southeast Indian Ridge. The petrology of ...
Relationship between size and geochemistry of polymetallic nodules from the Central Indian Ocean Basin: Significance in selection of high grade nodules
(Publ. and Inf. Dir., New Delhi, India, 1994)
Morphological, mineralogical and geochemical studies on nodules of different sizes collected from the Central Indian Ocean Basin (CIOB) show two suits of nodule formation by oxic diagenetic and hydrogenous process resulting ...
Signatures of rare-earth elements in banded corals of Kalpeni atoll-Lakshadweep archipelago in response to monsoonal variations
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1996)
Concentrations of rare-earth elements (REE) have been determined in seasonal bands of Porites species collected from the Lakshadweep lagoon. Total REE (REE) are very low (less than 3 ppm) in these corals. Seasonal variations ...
