Facial Features of the Late Quaternary Sedimentation on Danube and Sochi Polygons of the Black Sea

Аннотация

A comparative study of the Late Quaternary sedimentation on the platform (Danube study area) and folded (Sochi study area) margins of the Black Sea was carried out. Differences in seafloor morphology and clastic supply combined with significant sea level variations account for the differences in sedimentary structure, texture, facies composition, mineral composition, and sedimentation mechanism between the Upper Quaternary sequences of the study areas.
