An Evaluation of Insoluable Residues as a Correlation Tool in the George River Limestone.

(PDF -Ìý 1.9 Mb)

Three aspects of the use of insoluable residues as a tool in correlating units within the Limestone member of the Geprge River Series are evaluated:

  1. correlation on the basis of residue percentages,
  2. the validity of comparing metamorphic mineral suites, and,
  3. the feasibility of effecting a mineralogic separation of the residue.

It is concluded that, although all three aspects may later be of use, not enough work has been done to prove these methods effective.
