Accordingly, the two study sites were found to be underlain by granites, which were again covered by grus slope deposits in the upper pediment positions, grus slope deposits and river deposits in the lower pediment positions, river deposits in the river valleys,
pisolite slope deposits and river deposits in the lower plain positions, and
pisolite slope deposits in the upper plain positions (Table 1).

pisolite grains.
The Agbaja Formation and the iron mineralisation is laterally and aerially extensive across the Agbaja Plateau and consists of an upper unit comprising beds of ferruginous sandstone and reworked oolite/pisolite material (referred to as the Laterite unit) that overlies a sequence of massive ferruginous oolite and
pisolite in a ferruginous matrix.

On a visit to Carlsbad, Joachimsthal, Annaberg and Freiberg in June and July he purchased from various dealers the large
pisolite from Carlsbad which was much admired by Baron Racknitz, at 5 ducats (30 Ecus), stalactites and fossil wood, feldspar crystals which he found in the fields near Carlsbad, quartz, silvers etc.
The Company is also in joint venture with 3E Steel to investigate the potential for developing large low cost, low grade iron
pisolite deposits in western NSW.
He also dealt in beautiful greenish to pinkish quartz crystals from Crni, Herkimer-diamond-like quartz from Slivnica, and
pisolite from Blegos.
Eastern Iron is currently exploring the Hawkwood Magnetite-Vanadium Project in southern Queensland and the bulk tonnage iron
pisolite, Cobar/Main Line Projects in NSW.
In many locations, there is a 2 metre thick surface layer of "
Pisolite Ore" above the main gibbsite bauxite.
The iron levels are generally highest in the top layer of iron-rich gravel (technically described as
pisolite layers).
