A total of approximately 100 sets of samples will be available for distribution. Each set comprises three samples with mineral mixtures commonly found in clay bearing rocks or soils. All 100 sets of samples will be distributed in the order of registration.
Samples are expected to be dispatched on the 1st March with the deadline for submission of results by the 15th May 2012. The top three contestants with the most accurate results will be announced at the (49th Annual meeting of the Clay Minerals Society 7-11th July 2012). Only the names of the top three contestants will be published. The names of the other participants will remain strictly confidential.
The competition is open to anyone interested in quantitative mineral analysis, with particular emphasis on clay mineralogy.
Because of the popularity of the Reynolds Cup and the enormous amount of work put into its preparation, potential participants are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and only request samples if they are sure they can complete the analysis and return results to the organizers by the due date.
Those who request samples and do not send in results or fail to return the samples unopened WELL BEFORE the due date will not be eligible to participate in future Reynolds Cups.
A waiting list will be kept to offer returned samples to other potential participants.
To ensure an even wider exposure, we encourage you to forward this announcement to your national mailing lists and mineralogy associations, colleagues and friends who might be interested in participating.
We look forward to your participation!
Sincerely,
Mark Raven and Peter Self Reynolds Cup 2012 organizers.
