the analytical results shows positvive correlation of SiO2 only with TiO2, whereas TiO2 is also showing negative correlation with CaO, MnO, MgO. Kindly help me on this
thanks for your kind reply, actually i didn't studied the mineralogy of the sediment, this is bulk geochemistry of the marine sediment, these sediments are silty clay to clayey silt in nature. from the correlation matrix i suspect the presence of titanomagnite/ sphene/ illemenite contribution.
