The parent rock material controls the trace element content of a kaolin. The trace element association of Rio Capim kaolin is examined and utilized to verify the provenance of the deposit. The method of emission spectrographye is used for the analysis and is described in its essential parte, in particular the construction of the work curve and the detection limite of the elements The trace element association of the deposit is compared with the trace element association of other kaolin deposits of known provenance. On the basis of this comparison, it is concluded that the deposit was formed by weatering of a granitic parent rock. These conclusions confirm geologic observations about the deposit and the assemblage of heavy minerals, indicating a paraautochtonic origin.
