DescriptionTextural and mineralogical analyses of 119 samples from 65 vibracores were made in order to assess the sand, gravel and heavy-mineral resource potential of the Inner Continental Shelf offshore from Absecon Inlet to Barnegat Inlet, New Jersey. These data may help delineate areas where more thorough investigation is warranted.
The average heavy-mineral content of the vibracore samples is 1.9 weight percent, with a standard deviation of 2.1. The average heavy-mineral content recovered by the techniques of this analysis is 1.2 weight percent, with a standard deviation of 1.1.
The economically important heavy minerals, here defined as ihnenite (including altered ihnenite) + rutile + zircon + monazite + aluminosilicates (sillimanite, kyanite, andalusite), comprise on average 1.0 weight percent of the bulk sample with a standard deviation of 0.96. Thirteen samples from eight sites have concentrations of economically important heavy minerals exceeding 2 percent.
