Dr Udayaganesan delivered a seminar on the heavy mineral beach placers in India

PMG welcomed Dr Paraniraj Udayaganesan on Feb 2.

Dr Udayaganesan (Uday) described  the ilmenite/zircon/monazite placers along the Indian coast. He explained the controls on their formation: accumulation in downthrown blocks and prevailing wave direction. He also linked the concentrations of heavies in the source drainages to the concentrations of heavy minerals in the marine placers
