Geochemical facies analysis of quaternary pelitic sediments of the North-Eastern parts of the Great Hungarian Plain (Alföld)

Description
Summary:Within the framework of the geological mapping of the Great Hungarian Plain in the scale 1:100,000 mineralogical-geochemical analysis of sediments have been carried out from 94 boreholes of 30 m depth on the section of Nyirseg-Szatmar Plain-Bodrogkoz. Primarily, pelitic sediments exposed ana their underlying and overlying beds were in the focus of the investigations. In this paper, the most important results are reviewed. On the basis of the detailed sedimentological, mineralogical and geochemical studies, it has become possible to characterize the formations from a mineralogicalgeochemical point of view and distinguish the facies groups; in this way, the eolic and fluvial environments of the sedimentation are distinguishable from each other. The further aim of the authors is to suggest a new geochemical facies analysis model for the development of knowledge of Quaternary lithostratigraphical formations.
