Abstract:
Geomorphology of the Guinea Basin is described along with sediments from cores collected on the abyssal plain, within the abyssal hill zone, and in the eastern part of the Chain Fracture Zone. Stratigraphic differentiation of deep-sea sediments was based on diatom analysis, geochemical and lithological data. Holocene and Pleistocene were identified by these criteria. The lower boundary of Holocene is was found from a marked decrease in CaCO3 concentration and total diatom count. Mineral and chemical compositions are given for coarse silt fraction of various Late Pleistocene sediments. It is shown that this facial complex is determined by tectonic position of the Guinea Basin.
