Figure 8. Relative abundance of specific minerals as a function of grain-size class, extracted from a singular disaggregated (e.g., clay minerals removed from the surface of sand grains) central basin whole-sediment sample. (A) Whole mineral assemblage. (B) Relative proportions of chlorite, illite, kaolinite, and smectite. Note that chlorite is relatively most abundant in coarser-grained sediment in comparison with illite, kaolinite, and smectite.
