Abstract
Mineralogy of Some Australian Desert Soils
Dorothy Carroll (1)
ABSTRACT
Twenty soil profiles (78 samples) from the arid western part of New South Wales on the south-eastern edge of the Simpson Desert were examined for sand grade minerals and mechanical composition as class exercises by senior students in soil science, University of Sydney, Australia. This paper summarizes their results, and the author has interpreted the mineralogy of the soils in the light of local geology, erosion, drainage, and probable past history. A comparison is made with the true desert sands from the Simpson Desert in the center of Australia. It is found that the mineralogy of the soils reflects their geological history.
