The classical approach to sandstone petrology, established in the golden years of plate
tectonics and based on the axiom that “detrital modes of sandstone suites primarily reflect …

Detrital geochronology studies require a careful quantification of hydraulic sorting effects
and of the variable abundance (fertility) of datable minerals in different parent rocks …

This study presents an integrated mineralogical–geochemical database on fine-grained
sediments transported by all major rivers of southern Africa, including the Zambezi …

A practical classification of surface textures observed on detrital grains in sands and
sandstones is proposed, in order to enhance data reproducibility among operators and to …

This study investigates processes of sediment generation in equatorial central Africa. An
original, complete and integrated mineralogical‐geochemical database on silt‐sized …

The foreland basin of the southern European Alps is characterized by large fan-shaped
alluvial systems fed by the main montane valleys and these depositional systems present an …

This article investigates how, where, and to what extent the mineralogical and chemical
composition of sand-sized sediments is modified by extreme weathering in modern …

We trace compositional changes of Nile sediments for 7400 km, from their sources in
equatorial rift highlands of Burundi and Rwanda to their sink in the Mediterranean Sea. All …

This study seeks to determine the ultimate origin of aeolian sand in Arabian deserts by high-
resolution petrographic and heavy-mineral techniques combined with zircon U–Pb …

The bulk sand samples and detrital zircons collected from the Atasta and Alvarado beach
areas in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico have been analysed for geochemistry and U–Pb …
