Abstract


HEAVY MINERALS COMPOSITION OF SEDIMENTS UNDERLYING THE QUATERNARY IN THE NORTHWESTERN POLAND

Abstract. The paper presents results of investigations of sediments underlying the Quaternary in northwestern Poland. Sediments of Jurassic, Cretaceous and Tertiary (Oligocene and Miocene) occur under the Quaternary of this area. Lithofacial differentiation of sediments was determined on the basis of grain size data, CaCO3 content and heavy minerals composition. Granulometrical composition of samples is heterogenous. Despite of that all sediments have very low contents of CaCO3 and heavy minerals composition - characteristic for different stratigraphical units. Generally, the heavy minerals associations of sediments underlying of the Quaternary in northwestern Poland are different in relation to other northern and middle regions of Poland. The difference of heavy minerals composition in sediments in various stratigraphic units is also noticed in results of statistic analysis of received data.
