Abstract

The genesis of china-clays in the neighbourhood of Guiscriff is not related to the presence of the peat which is situated on top of the clay layer in the lower parts. The formation of this peat is subsequent to the formation of china-clay. This china-clay was formed under the action of fluids of deep-seated origin of which the remains are included in the quartz veins stretching along the quarry.
