Provenance-landscape-climatic constraints on the clay mineral record of the Great Rann of Kachchh Basin, Western India
The Great Rann of Kachchh (GRK) Basin accumulated a huge sediment pile during the Holocene under complex climate-tectonic influences. The clay mineralogical investigations on three sediment cores, namely DS (~32 m), VK (~42 m) and KC (~37 m) show predominant illite and chlorites over the smectite and kaolinites suggest...
