Facial features of Late-Quaternary sedimentation on Danube and Sochi polygons of the Black Sea

Abstract

Comparative study of the Late-Quaternary sedimentation on the platform and folded margins of the Black Sea is performed. Differences in the morphology of the seabed, in the supply of terrigenous material in combination with significant fluctuations in sea level caused differences in the structure of sediments, in their texture, mineralogical composition, thickness, combined different sedimentary mechanisms.
