Description

Two types of dolomites (unaltered and altered dolomites) and two types of serpentines along with intrusive rock dolerite obtained in the asbestos mines of Brahmanapalle in Cuddapah basin, Andhra Pradesh, India were analysed for major, minor and trace elements by Ko neutron activation analysis (NAA) method. As many as 21 elements that have significance on geological formations are measured. The elemental concentrations are used for distinguishing and characterising these minerals. Our results indicate that both dolomite and intrusive dolerite contribute to the mineralisation of serpentines. (author)
