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...
