This study was conducted to identify heavy minerals and their
changes with depth in three cores taken from different locations in
Monterey Bay, California. Monterey Bay provides an area where several
different sources influence the sediment deposition.
Minerals indicative of the geological formations in the drainage
areas of the Pajaro and Salinas Rivers were found in distinctive distribution
throughout these cores. Glaucophane, indicative of the Franciscan
Formation, was found near the bottom of all cores. The larger percentages
of augite found in the core at Santa Cruz were probably derived from the
north due to longshore drift. High percentages of garnet and low percentages
of hypersthene with depth in the Moss Landing Core reflect the
influence of the Salinas River.
