This paper reports an investigation into the composition of gypsum from Kobeřice locality (Czech Republic). The X-ray diffraction along with FTIR spectroscopy and thermal analysis show that almost pure gypsum occurs mainly in autochthonous horizons. While allochthonous clastic deposition is represented by gypsum containing also calcite, quartz, clay minerals and organic matter., Pavel Konečný, Eva Plevová, Lenka Vaculíková, Alena Kožušníková, Janka Peterková and Marianna Hundáková., and Obsahuje bibliografii
