Relation between natural radioactivity in sediment and potential heavy mineral enrichment on the Washington continental shelf
Natural radionuclides may be indicators for dense mineral placers along marine shorelines. Relict beach and river deposits occur in continental shelf sediments. These deposits result from the reworking of beach sands by wave action during the Holocene Transgression. Some dense, resistant minerals as...
