Abstract
Mode of Occurrence of Pelites in the Kythrea Flysch Basin (Cyprus)
Yehezkiel Weiler
ABSTRACT
Pelites comprise about two thirds of the rock bulk of the Neogene Kythrea Flysch in Cyprus. These pelites, found principally in turbidites, but also in pelagic marls and foraminiferal chalks, are built of mainly chlorite and illite with lesser amounts of montmorillonite, swelling chlorite and serpentine. The uniformity in clay suites (turbiditic and pelagic) leads to the assumption that all the clay found in the basin is virtually of the same clastic origin.
The clayey material in suspension may have been transported in flocs or aggregates and thus the granulometric analyses do not reflect its hydrodynamic behavior.
