| Deposit | THE PRINCIPLE GEOCHEMICAL ACCUMULATIONS OF FREE ALUMINA ARE EVERYWHERE IN FRANCE RELATED TO THE PALEOCLIMATIC; PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHIC, AND GEOMORPHILOGIC EVOLUATION OF THE LOWER 3RETACEOUS TO EOCENE PERIOD. THE CAUSES OF THE LIBERATION OF THE ALUMINA FROM CRYSTALLINE ROCKS ARE ESSENTIALLY PEDOGENETIC AND DETERMINED BY THE VARIATIONS OF THE VEGETATIVE COVER. |
