Description of recent sediments of the East African continental margin

Listed in PANGAEA and DataCite — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.1594/pangaea.548419

Recent sediments off East Africa coast show 5 fades, parallel the coast: biogene carbonate sand, olivgrey mud, foraminiferal sand, globigerine ooze, and deep sea clay.

Description

These sediments decrease progressively in grain size, carbonate content and shell debris away from the coast. They differ in the primary and biogenetic structures, degree of bioturbation, lebensspuren and content of fecal pellets.
