Ostracoda fauna of surface sediments from the Persian Gulf
During the "Meteor“-Expedition to the Persian Gulf in March-May 1965, approximately 300 samples were collected. Most of them have been already studied by various authors in... -
Geochemical analysis of bulk sediment and interstitial water of sediment core...
Molybdenum and vanadium were analysed in 9 scediment cores recovered from the continental slope and rise off NW Africa. Additionall chemical and sedimentological parameters as... -
Geochemistry of recent sediments of the East African continental margin, Arab...
Chemical analyses have been carried out on 40 samples from the sediment surface and 210 samples from cores that were taken from the edge of the African continental block at the... -
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... -
Description of recent sediments of the East African continental margin
Recent sediments off East Africa coast show 5 fades, parallel the coast: biogene carbonate sand, olivgrey mud, foraminiferal sand, globigerine ooze, and deep sea clay. These... -
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... -
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... -
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
