Description :
This paper reports on experiments to measure the relative contributions of the magnetic constituents of sediments. The proportionate contributions of heavy and light mineral components of two different sediment streams delivered to the confluence in the headwaters of Killimicat Creek, New South Wales, are determined from mineral magnetic measurements. The results show that most of the magnetic mineral component is associated with sediment particles, rather than the discrete heavy mineral component.
