Distribution of the main heavy minerals identified in sediment core CRP-2/2A ...
Heavy minerals from the lower Oligocene to Quaternary sediments of the CRP-2/2A drill core have been analysed in order to characterize the mineralogical composition of the sediments and to reconstruct their source areas.In the heavy mineral spectrum, pyroxenes up to 90 % predominate. Hornblende, sta...

Heavy minerals from the lower Oligocene to Quaternary sediments of the CRP-2/2A drill core have been analysed in order to characterize the mineralogical composition of the sediments and to reconstruct their source areas.In the heavy mineral spectrum, pyroxenes up to 90 % predominate.

The distribution of heavy minerals throughout the entire sediment core CRP-2/2A points to a mixed source area in the Transantarctic Mountains.According to down-core distribution patterns of heavy minerals, the sediments of CRP-2/2A can be subdivided in two larger units.
