This paper discusses petrographic and mineralogic features of kaolinite and associated minerals from a certain kaolin deposit near Spokane, Wash. Here the kaolin occurs in dikes, veinlets cutting a sandy material, and has field relations and mineral associations that are not in harmony with the usual conception of residual deposits due to weathering. The evidence points strongly to endomorphic action or perhaps even direct primary origin from highly aqueous magmatic solutions.
