HEAVY MINERALS IN THE BEŁCHATÓW LIGNITE DEPOSIT FROM THE MESOZOIC/CENOZOIC CONTACT ZONE

Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2011, Vol 444, Issue 444

Abstract

The paper presents the results of mineralogical studies of heavy minerals in the Bełchatów lignite deposit from the Mesozoic/Cenozoic contact zone, based on microscopic investigations. The rocks contain disthene, staurolite, zircon, tourmaline, titanium oxide minerals, monazite, pyrite and galena. Quantitative analysis shows that disthene and tourmaline are predominant among opaque heavy minerals.
