Source of Marine Sediments
• Terrigenous ( the most abundant ).
• Erosion of land, volcanic eruptions, blown dust.
• Quartz sand, clays, estuarine mud (the mud or slime come from stream and/or gulf outfall ).
• Dominant on continental margins abyssal plains, polar ocean floors.
• Biogenous ( remains of marine organisms )
• Organic; accumulation of hard parts of some marine organisms.
• Calcareous like (calcareous nanoplankton and Ostracoda) and siliceous like (Radiolaria and Diatoms)
oozes ( wet mud or slime ).
• Dominant on deep-ocean floor (siliceous ooze below about 5 km).
• Hydrogenous (authigenic, generated where it is found)
• Precipitation of dissolved minerals from water, often by bacteria.
• Manganese nodules, phosphorite deposits.
• Present with other, more dominant sediments.
Source of Marine Sediments
• Cosmogenous ( cams from space ).
• Dust from space meteorite debris.
• Tektite spheres ( dark glassy rock result of meteors striking the Earth crust ), glassy nodules.
• Mixed in very small proportion with more dominant sediments.
