In the last two centuries, since the dawn of modern geology, heavy minerals have been used
to investigate sediment provenance and for many other scientific or practical applications …

We often resort to mythical thinking in the face of natural phenomena that we hardly
understand. Sedimentary petrology has several long-standing myths. One is that sediments …

Sediment in coastal N amibia to southern Angola is supplied dominantly from the Orange
