Vm. Dekov et al., GRAIN-SIZE ANALYSIS OF EPR METALLIFEROUS SEDIMENTS (ON EXAMPLE OF NEAR-AXIAL ZONE, 21-DEGREES-S), Okeanologia, 33(3), 1993, pp. 435-440
It is shown that water-mechanical methods of the grain size analysis a
re inadequate for metalliferous sediments. Laser granulometer ''MALVER
N'' is a much more preferable tool for this research. The majority of
sediments are pelitic and silty pelitic clays with three- or four moda
l granulometric spectra.
