Indicator Minerals and Transport

Kimberlite indicator minerals are recovered from the medium to very coarse sand-sized fraction of glacial sediments, and analyzed by electron microprobe to determine . . . .

Sand Transport Analysis: How To . . .

Learn to identify which geographical areas of a barrier island are affected by stronger wind and water energies by characterizing individual sand samples from different localities . . . .

Transport as a Sorting Mechanism on Shore Lines

The position of the depth of closure along the cross-shore profile is a function of density, size and shape of the grains and, furthermore, of wave characteristics and time . . . .

Sampling in Australia's Flinders Range

The term "on source" is used by mineralogists and geologists to describe kimberlite indicator minerals which show no textural evidence of abrasion caused by sedimentary transport, and which often have . . . .

Kimberlite North of Yellowknife

. . . . exact location of the source of the kimberlite float are not yet known. A detailed grid of till sampling and a limited ground geophysical survey have been completed . . . .

Kimberlite Indicators

These minerals are far more abundant in kimberlite than diamond, survive glacial transport, and are visually and chemically distinct.

Peddie Pipe at Timiskaming

Olivine in the Peddie kimberlite has survived both in-situ weathering of the kimberlite and subsequent glacial transport. Unlike tropical and arid terrains of South Africa and Australia, olivine is an excellent kimberlite indicator mineral . . . .

Lac de GrasTransport Patterns

The regional distribution of kimberlite indicator minerals reveals variability in concentrations which strongly reflects the ice flow history and the principal zone of known kimberlites . . . .

Indicators at Wimendji

Indicators in the Otish Mountains

The sampling methodology involved the collection of five or six samples, each weighing approximately 20-25 kg, down the interpreted glacial sediment transport direction from each magnetic target.
