Abstract

The -1 micron portion of several diversified soils were separated by sedimentary fractionation. Physical properties were evaluated on the -1 micron portion, the +1 micron portion, and on the original -40 sample. The -1 micron portion was analyzed for clay mineral identity by X-ray diffraction, and analyzed chemically for associated materials such as the oxides of Iron, Aluminum, Calcium, and lv!agneeium.

These data present several possibilities and trends as to the inter-dependency of the involved variables, other considerations have been devoted to the geologic origin of several samples and to various physico-chemical relationships.
