AB In Montalvo beach (Pontevedra) a concentration of heavy minerals forming a placer takes place. Theplacer formation is related to the beach hydrodynamics that concentrates and segregates the differentparticles in layers. It is located in the north zone of the beach and achieves the biggest thickness in theupper zones of the profile (supratidal and upper intertidal zone). The location and the morphology of theplacer, and the coincidence between the mineralogy of the heavy minerals and the lithology of the areasuggest that the heavy minerals have a local source and are not moved offshore. The segregation in differentlayers is related to erosive states and to different cross-shore movements through seasonal cycles
