Distribution of molluscs on the Atlantic continental shelf off Southern Spani...
Two hundred and seventy five mollusc species from the continental shelf off Southern Spanish Sahara (depth: 32-60 m) were identified. Their distribution pattern is strongly... -
Distribution of benthos in late Quaternary turbidite layers of sediment cores...
The CaCO3-contents and the fractions > 40 µm have been analysed from 5 kastenloten, one piston core and two kastengreifer taken between Senegal and Cape Verde Islands.... -
Benthic foraminifera in surface sediments of the Persian Gulf
During "Meteor"cruise 1965 the author collected 134 samples of surface sediments from the Iranian part of the Persian Gulf. Benthic Foraminifera populations have been analysed... -
Sedimentological and paleoclimatological investigation of two sediment cores ...
Two box cores taken off Cape Barbas (North-West Africa) have been studied using three methods. The analyses of the coarse fraction, of biogenic opal and of planktonic... -
Geochemistry of recent marine sediments, interstitial water, and sea water fr...
Carbon dioxide, ammonia, and reactive phosphate in the interstitial water of three sediment cores of the West African continental margin result from oxidation of sedimentary... -
Nannoplankton of multi-net samples, sediment surface and sediment core sample...
Recent nannoplankton from the "Meteor”-stations M 242, M 243 and M 245 in the northern Arabian Sea were studied by means of the light and electron microscope, and 19 species... -
Heavy mineral alanysis of surface sediments from the west-Pakistan and the ad...
Sediment samples from the southern West-Pakistan and the adjacent shelf have been studied for their heavy mineral contents and compositions. It is shown that the sediment load... -
Late pleistocene and holocene sedimentation in the central and eastern Persia...
The sandfraction of the sediment was analysed in five cores, taken from 65 m water depth in the central and eastern part of the Persian Gulf. The holocene marls are underlayn by... -
Siliceous fossils in sediments of the Ibero-Moroccan shelf and adjacent deep ...
Siliceous skeletons were investigated in two core profiles (9 cores), one off Cap de Sines, Portugal and the other off Cap de Mazagan, Morocco. Total number of skeletons was... -
Planktonic foraminifera in sediments of the Ibero-Moroccan Continental Margin
Recent clays cover the East Atlantic continental slopes. They are gray and poor in sand off Portugal (Cape Sines), but reddish brown to reddish gray and richer in sand off... -
Quantitative component analysis of the coarse fraction of surface sediments f...
In the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman marl forms the primary sediment cover, particularly on the Iranian side. A detailed quantitative description of the sediment components... -
Geologic-hydrologic setting and surface sedimentology in the Persian Gulf
Morphology and sedimentation The deepest parts of the Persian Gulf lie off the Iranian coast. Several swells separate the Persian Gulf into the Western Basin, the Central Basin...
