Description 265-268
Heavy mineral analyses have been carried out on sandy and silty fraction of recent detrital sediments at the mouths of 6 rivers debouching in the Red Sea. The non-opaque heavy minerals show only one association dominated by chlorite, epidotes, amphiboles, pyroxenes and biotite along with zircon, rutile and garnet. The primary source of these heavy minerals is the igneous-metamorphic rocks of Arabian shield basement complex, in addition to the ancient clastic sediments. The distribution pattern and trends of heavy mineral association are controlled by the mineralogy of the source rocks.
