摘要
研究了南海东沙群岛附近海域表层沉积物中二类粒级(0.063~0.125mm和0.125~0.25mm)的碎屑矿物。结果表明,碎屑矿物共有52种,其中轻矿物15种,重矿物37种;前者平均含量为98.83%,后者仅为0.52%。依据主要矿物的含量和分布特征,将该海域划分为三个矿物组合带.从海岸向陆架、陆坡,陆源碎屑逐渐减少,生物源物质不断增多;水深670~740m的陆坡内褐铁矿含量较高,表明该区处于水体交换频繁的高能氧化环境.
We have studied the clastic minerals of two sizes (0.063~0.125 mmand 0. 125~0.25 mm)collected from the surface sediment of the adjacent sea Dongshaarchipelago in the South China Sea. The results show that there are 52 minerals of which 15are light and 37 are heavy minerals. The content of light minerals is on average 98. 82%,andof heavy minerals is only 0.52%,According to the content and the distribution feature of them3jor minerals,three minerals regions are divided.From the coast to the continent slope,thecontent of continental clastics is gradually decreased, biogenic matters are gradually in-creased.The content of limonite at depht 670~740 m is higher,which shows these areas areunder the strong oxidizing environment with frequent exchange of seawater.
