Abstract:
The clays found near Akora Khattak, about 35 miles east of Peshawar, on the left bank of Kabul River, are illite with subordinate amounts of free quartz, feldspar, mica and heavy minerals. The angular to sub-rounded nature of clastic grains and their composition indicate that acid igneous rocks of Malakand and Lower Swat are probably the source rocks. X-ray, DTA and chemical analysis data are given.
