Ironsand in continental shelf sediments off western New Zealand: a synopsis
This paper by Lionel Carter is a summary of the distribution of ironsand (magnetite and ilmenite) in sediments on the continental shelf off western New Zealand (PDF, 1.3 MB). It was published in the New Zealand Journal of Geology & Geophysics (1980).
