Abstract

Bauxite and the associated rocks from seven different localities of Muzaffarabad and Kotli areas of Azad Kashmir have been investigated for their non-clay mineral correspondence. Rocks in contact with the bauxite are the fire clay at the base and Eocene shale at the top. The fire clay overlies the Muzaffarabad Formation of Permo-Carboniferous age. The bauxite and the fire clay correspond closely with each other in their mineralogical composition. No relationship could be found between the top of Muzaffarabad Formation and the bottom of the fire clay. The study reveals similar provenance and cycle of deposition for the fire clay and the bauxite with some breaks and changes when the pisolites of the bauxite were being formed.
