A new approach to heavy mineral size distribution.
The size distribution of heavy minerals in water-laid sediments has previously been explained in terms of the same fluvial sorting which controlled the grain size of the light minerals. What appeared to be a sympathetic variation between the size of heavy minerals and that of the light mineral with...

| Summary: | The size distribution of heavy minerals in water-laid sediments has previously been explained in terms of the same fluvial sorting which controlled the grain size of the light minerals. What appeared to be a sympathetic variation between the size of heavy minerals and that of the light mineral with which they were associated led to the formulation of the concept of Hydraulic Equivalence and to belief in the constancy of the hydraulic ratio.
