Bauxite in the Wessel Islands and vicinity, Arnhem Land, Northern Territory  

Authors / CoAuthors

Owen, H.B.

Abstract

The presence of bauxite on one of the Wessel Islands was established in 1949 when specimens of laterite collected from various parts of the Arnhem Land coast were analysed. In October, 1951, the writer spent two days on Marchinbar Island and examined several small laterite residuals and part of one large deposit. The characteristics and distribution of the laterite are discussed in this report.
