AUSTRALITES FROM PINJIN PASTORAL STATION, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 1 decade ago

Abstract: Australitcs from Pinjin Pastoral Station arc typical of the Eastern Goldfields region if some allowance is made for the quality of the available sample. The specific gravity range of 2.422-2.469 with 55% of the values in the 2.45-2.46 interval indicates that the australites are of the "normal" chemical type of Chapman (1971). The aberrant forms include a rare "tailed" core.
