We performed a comparative analysis of quantitative parameters for Pleistocene sediments from the pelagic zone and submarine parts of continental margins of the Atlantic Ocean in seven key areas. In the Neopleistocene compared to the Eopleistocene, the lithogenic fluxes increased both in the pelagic zone and on the continental margins. The residual absolute masses of СаСО
3 and biogenic opal decreased in both megafacies zones. The biogenic sedimentation was more important for facies structure of the pelagic zone than for continental margins. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
