Abstract

The Kaladgi argillites show heterogeneity in textural and physical properties. Differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetric studies have revealed that the argillites contain illite with montmorillonite, quartz and biotite. The calc-rich shale contains illite and kaolinite with total absence of montmorillonite. The mineralogical significance of the depositional environment of the Kaladgi (precambrian) sea has been discussed.
