摘要
A total of 250 surface samples collected from the Yellow River mouth and Laizhou Bay in 2007 were analyzed for heavy minerals. The content of heavy minerals on an average of 1.51% is very low in the study area. The assemblage of mica, hornblend and epidote dominates over the others, and the content of muscovite is higher than that of biotite. The heavy minerals, especially mica can be used as an indicator to trace the path of sediments transportation. According to the distribution pattern of mica, it is concluded that the Yellow River sediments were mainly transported to the south and east.
