Abstract
- Abstract—Lithological and facies zonality of Neopleistocene and Eopleistocene sediments of the Australian seas is described for the first time. Processing of these maps and isopach schemes by A.B. Ronov volumetric method gave us an opportunity to calculate the quantitative parameters of sedimentation for different types of the Pleistocene sediments. It was revealed that carbonate sediments predominate over other sediment groups. The Neopleistocene was characterized by more intense accumulation of carbonate planktic sediments and lithogenic sediments than Eopleistocene. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
