Abstract

Anomalous fading parameters and activation energies are reported for a variety of feldspars and K-feldspars separated from sediments. While some interesting patterns emerge, prediction of the fading parameter from a measurement of the activation energy would appear to be unwise. There was a tendency for the activation energy to increase from 0.04 to 0.2 eV as the K content increases from 0 to 15 %.
