Strontium Distribution in Recent Indian Ocean Sediments off the Eastern Coast of Somalia: NOTES

German Muller

ABSTRACT

The strontium concentration of Recent Indian Ocean sediments off the eastern coast of Somalia is strongly related to the total carbonate content and the carbonate mineralogy. The Sr-content decreases away from the coast with decreasing carbonate content and decreasing aragonite; low+high-magnesian calcite ratios. Thus littoral calcareous sands rich in carbonates with a low aragonite have the highest calcite ratio, whereas calcareous deep-sea clays with calcite as the only carbonate mineral have the lowest Sr-concentration.
