Figure 14. Specific mineral abundance as a function of estuarine zone and depositional environment: (A, B) quartz, (C, D) K-feldspar, (E, F) plagioclase, and (G, H) carbonate. Estuarine zones are labeled accordingly: lower Irt (A); lower Mite (B); lower Esk (C); inner Irt (D); inner Mite (E); inner Esk (F); central basin (G); and outer estuary (H). Depositional environments are labeled accordingly: gravel bed (De1); mud flat (De2); mixed flat (De3); sand flat (De4); tidal bars and dunes (De5); tidal inlet (De6); backshore (De7); foreshore (De8); and proebb delta (De9). Note that outliers (open circles) are defined as an observation that is numerically distant from the rest of the data (i.e., a value that is 1.5 times the interquartile range below the lower quartile and above the upper quartile).
