| Abstract: | The mineral composition of oil shales from three widely different ateas within Australia has been examined by X-ray diffractometry after low-temperature ashing. Quartz is more abundant than calcite. Feldspar is prominent in the Permian oil-rich shale from Glen Davis, New South Wales. Clay minerals are represented by smectite, illite, kaolinite and mixed-layer minerals (mostly mica-smectite). The content of clay minerals is generally low, except in the Tertiary oil shale from Rundle, Queensland. |
