Abstract
Mössbauer spectrometry is presently in use as an analytic technique in geochemistry. It has been used to study the structure of minerals and to identify the mineral phases present in multiphase mineral aggregates, such as rocks, sediments, and soils. The success of these applications suggests that Mössbauer spectrometry will become a standard instrumental technique in determinative mineralogy. The measurement and analysis of geochemical rock standards and ocean sediments will be described and our results correlated with those previously obtained using conventional analytic methods. Other topics will include the use of Mössbauer spectrometry to identify igneous rocks and to study ultrafine-grained and colloidal sediment materials.
