Subject category Comment text
Deposit THE SEARCH FOR THE ORIGIN OF BAUXITE DEPOSITS SHOULD PROCEED NOT ONLY FROM THE GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE AREA UNDER CONSIDERATION, BUT ALSO FROM A PALEOGEOGRAPHICAL RECONSTITUTION.{{GEN THE PAPA-ALLOCHTHONOUS THEORY OF ROUSSET SAYS THAT THE FERRALITIZATION, ON A WELL-DRAINED, UNWARPED(?)KARST, OF MATERIAL WHICH COMES FROM(INFRACRETACE)MARL PERMITTED THE GENESIS OF THE BAUXITE OF PROVENCE.
