TextPublisher: 1997Description: 6p. ill. 27cmSubject(s): Geology, Economic -- Malacca | Rocks, Igneous -- Malacca | Sedimentation and deposition -- Malacca | Cassiterite -- Malacca | Sediments (Geology) -- Malacca | Gold -- Malacca | Gunung Bujang (Malacca)Summary: Low abundances of @heavy@ heavy minerals, such as cassiterite and gold, in natural sediments make it difficult to observe and monitor the sedimentological processes that lead to the development of their placer deposits in fluvial channels. We have overcome this problem by installation of apit trap in a Malaysian stream that contains abnormally high concentrations of cassiterite. Rates of accumulation of cassiterite grains up to 500 mm and sediment up to 30 mm have been measured under changing discharges during a flood event.
