Abstract
Chloritoid-Bearing schists have so far not been recorded from the State of South Australia, though such are known from the Pre-Cambrian rocks of the Broken Hill area. The chloritoid rocks now to be shortly described occur interbedded with quartzites, forming the meridional ridge of the “Frenchman”, on the western coast of southern Eyre Peninsula. In a previous paper (l)1 the rocks of this area have been referred to, as comprised within two groups, a sedimentary series—the Warrow series, and the Dutton series, a group of acid granites of gneissic habit with associated aplites and pegmatites, often rich in tourmaline and carrying garnet, and beryl. These rocks invade the sediments of the Warrow series.Keywords
