Abstract
A Note on the Relationship of Grain Size, Clay Content, Quartz and Organic Carbon in Some Lake Erie and Lake Ontario Sediments: NOTES
R. L. Thomas
ABSTRACT
An examination of the geochemistry of fine-grained sediments in relation to size frequency distribution was carried out on sediment samples from Lakes Erie and Ontario. This study demonstrated a direct relationship between the <2 micron grain size and the theoretical clay content computed from the organic carbon, quartz and carbonate content. A sympathetic relationship was observed between clay content and organic carbon, and also between median grain size and quartz content. The former relationship is believed to be the result of absorption from solution and the latter is brought about by natural sedimentation from suspension.
