| Abstract: | This paper addresses the problem of relationships between the chemical composition and color of Quaternary marine sediments using the data of X-ray fluorescence analysis for the region of the Mendeleev Rise (Arctic Ocean). The contributions of sedimentation and diagenetic factors to color formation were estimated. It was shown that lithostratigraphic correlations should be performed (with certain limitations) using only sediment layers of dark brown and pink color. |
