| The bay bottom is characterized mainly by fine-grained terrigenous sediments with a considerable admixture of terrestrial organic matter. |
|
| In addition, intercalated terrigenous turbidites exhibit considerable lateral variation in bed thickness. |
|
| The composition of terrigenous sedimentary rocks would merely reflect the compositional aggregate of their source areas. |
|
| It lies within the discordantly aligned Balygychan-Sugoi basin, which is underlain by volcanic rocks and carbonaceous molasses that cover the Verkhoyansk terrigenous rocks. |
|
| The rocks contain abundant terrigenous clay and organic matter. |
|
| The specimen was buried by a rapid influx of terrigenous mud. |
|
| Those terrigenous sediments occur mostly on the continental shelves, slopes, and rises, and they merge into abyssal plains. |
|
| These widespread deposits included both terrigenous clastics and limestones. |
|
| The dark terrigenous layers are related to the amount of precipitation that falls in a given year during the rainy winter months. |
|
| Moreover, this water, recharged with terrigenous nutrients, finds its way back to the sea where it feeds complex biotic and abiotic processes. |
|
| The higher levels may be affected by terrigenous additions linked to continental gully erosion, especially after big fires. |
|
| These rocks are generally characterised as mainly comprising shaly and sandy, terrigenous sediments. |
|
| This association is extremely vulnerable to possible terrigenous additions, which it does not seem to be able to withstand. |
|
| The Maghrebian belt, forming the main part of Sicily, consists of Permian to Oligocene shelf and basinal carbonate successions, followed by younger terrigenous deposits. |
|
| Preservation of fossils in the lower part of the Benbolt Formation was enhanced by periodic influxes of terrigenous mud, which also facilitate collection and cleaning. |
|
| In an organic rock sample which contains terrigenous derived organic matter, there are often sufficient amounts of vitrinite to perform an analysis. |
|
| The fate of terrigenous organic matter during riverine and estuarine transport. |
|
| Sediments are dominantly calcareous in the Florida region and become more marly and eventually sandy to the west, reflecting the input of terrigenous matter transported seasonally by the Mississippi River and its precursors. |
|
| If the reef is epicontinental there can be also a terrigenous contribution. |
|
| Nearsurface sediments comprise mostly terrigenous and biogenous turbiditic muds and sands with a minor presence of hemipelagic muds, except on the fault scarp where pelagites predominate. |
|
|
|
| The main sources of this pollution come from: terrigenous particles from the desertic zones of Sahara and biomass burning that produce huge amount of black and organic carbon. |
|
| Brown clays are a variety of pelagic sediment, mostly of terrigenous origin, which are composed largely of four different clay minerals: chlorite, illite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite. |
|
| Pelagic sediments, either terrigenous or biogenic, are those that are deposited very slowly in the open ocean either by settling through the volume of oceanic water or by precipitation. |
|
| Changes in seafloor spreading rates and glaciations have caused sea levels to rise and fall, greatly altering the deep-sea sedimentation pattern of both terrigenous and biogenic sediments. |
|
| The provenance of ocean sediments can be determined by analysing terrigenous strontium isotope ratios in deep ocean cores. |
|
| Noncarbonate chemical sedimentary rocks differ in many respects from carbonate sedimentary rocks and terrigenous clastic sedimentary rocks, and there is no single classification that has been universally accepted. |
|
| The main Tulawaka gold deposit is hosted in dominantly volcanogenic tuffaceous rock and bedded terrigenous sediment with thin layers of silicate iron formations, all metamorphosed into amphibolite facies. |
|
| Fissile refers to the rock's ability to split into thin sheets along bedding while terrigenous refers to the sediment's origins, that it is the product of weathering of rocks. |
|
| The primary sources of metals for the polymetallic nodule deposits of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone are terrigenous or volcanogenic sources in North and Central America, and the East Pacific Rise. |
