Studies on the distribution of metals in bogs and glaciolacustrine deposits.

Abnormal concentrations of metals in peats have been frequently reported in the literature. One of the earliest reports is from Townsend (1845). He mentions a bog in western Ireland that contained sufficient copper to warrant mining; over 300 tons of copper were mined from the peat ash. The copper o...
