In shale, mudstone and siltstone samples (154) a positive relationship exists between the TiO 2 / Al 2 O 3 ratio and the quartz content. As the grain size of the sediment increases, so titanium oxides (rutile and anatase are present) increase in importance relative to the silicates, due to sorting. In sandstones the ratio reflects the maturity, but the degree of sorting must be taken into account. The ratio of TiO 2 substituting in the clay minerals to the Al 2 O 3 content is not greater than 0.025 based on the whole rock analyses. This is borne out by values close to 0.010 obtained following the method of and ( Amer. Mineral . 50 , 1086-1094, 1965). The addition of volcanic material to the normal sediment may either increase or decrease the whole rock TiO 2 / Al 2 O 3 ratio depending on the ash composition. Volcanic contributions may thus be recognized and several examples are given from the British Carboniferous.
