dc.description.abstract	Heavy minerals are resistant materials that survive chemical and mechanical weathering for considerable periods of time. They can serve therefore, determine the sources of sediments in depositional environments. Some researchers (Krumbein & Tukey, 1956; Carrol, 1957; Imbrie & Van Andel, 1964; Callahan, 1979) have used this technique in fluvial and denudational environments. The application of heavy mineral analysis in determining the provenance of sediments of coasts has received little attention.	en_US
