Heavy Minerals:-
The large variety of often distinctive heavy minerals
found in sediments can provide valuable information
for interpreting stratigraphy and determining the
provenance of a sediment. When minerals of
economic importance such as gold, or kimberlite
indicator minerals such as pyrope, are observed in the
heavy mineral fraction, they can often be traced to a
source in bedrock. Furthermore, the heavy mineral
fraction can provide information on the nature of
geochemical anomalies that would be otherwise
difficult to obtain.
