Abstract

This study was carriedout with an objective to filling up the lack of information on the exact mineral paragenesis during lateritic weathering of the parent rocks, the micro-environments of formation of laterites, bauxites and associated clays, and the nature of post-diagenetic processes that affect laterites and bauxites (Khanapurkar and Suryawanshi, 2014). Laterite and bauxite deposits occurring at five localities namely Dhangarwadi, Girgaon, Udgiri, Malaiwada and Manoli of Shahuwadi Taluk of Kolhapur district of Maharashtra were investigated in this study.
