Petrographical study of rock samples from the coastal section between Torquay and Airey's Inlet, Victoria

The samples described in this report, which were submitted by the Director for petrographical examination, come from the Janjukian and Anglesean deposits between Torquay and Airey's Inlet. All sedimentary rocks from the area have been named according to the classification drawn up by M.A. Condon. The results of a rough chemical analysis made in 1947 on a sample of supposed jarosite are given, and a note on the occurrence and possible origin of the glauconite found in many of the samples is appended.
