Schrader, E L; Tull, J F; Stow, S H

The Alabama tin belt was studied to determine the relationship of the tin mineralization to the deformational history and igneous intrusives of the area. Studies included thin section modal analyses, polished section observations, biotite and feldspar mineral separate analyses, whole rock major- and minor-element analyses, quantitative Sn determination in rock and mineral samples, and electron-microprobe mineral analyses.
