Abstract
The heavy mineralogical investigation of the soil sample
involved from the Khurrianuiala soil series suggests a mixed
parentage dominated by schists of low, e.g., chlorite to high,
e.g., hyanite, c.rade together with: mafic igneous, e.g., clinopyroxene. lnuestigations of the quartz grains at submicroscopic
level revealed the solution and precipitation of Si02
.nH2
0,
alongwith V-shaped etching as the main shaping mechanisms of minerals.
