Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Sediment cores collected from the Arabian Sea abyssal plain representing late Quaternary column have intercepted deep sea turbidite sequences of composite origin. Based on the study of their coarse fraction, they are grouped into Indus Fan (IF) and calciclastic (CC) turbidites. IF-turbidites are dominated by distal terrigenous minerals and CC-turbidites are essentially composed of coral fragments, the source of which is proximal Lakshadweep Ridge.
