Abstract
A comparison has been made of the traditional gravimetric method for measuring the heavy mineral mass fraction in sand with a method based on the emission of γ-rays from the uranium and thorium series by radiogenic heavy-minerals. The comparison reveals that beach sand along the Dutch coast may be divided into two provinces separated by the narrow ebb tidal channel of Texel. -from Authors
