Abstract
Oolites On The Georgia Continental Shelf Edge
Orrin H. Pilkey, Detmar Schnitker, D. R. Pevear
ABSTRACT
Aragonitic oolites (ooids) are present as a minor constituent of Georgia outer continental shelf and upper slope sediments. They are found at depths between about 35 and 150 meters and are most abundant in a north-south band at the continental shelf break. Oolites make up at a maximum, about 14% of the total sediment. Associated shallow water forminifera and a carbon 14 date of 26,000 years B. P. indicate the origin of these oolites at a time of lowered Pleistocene sea level.
