| Abstract |
Results are presented on recent investigations about the paleoenvironmental signification of Mesozoic and Cenozoic clay successions, recovered in marginal areas of Atlantic and North-West Pacific Oceans and in the Mediterranean Sea. Chiefly derived from adjacent land-masses, clay assemblages represent useful indicators of major tectonical, climatical, hydrodynamical and morphological events which occurred through time. Examples are chosen in different sedimentary basins, and at different geological periods from late Jurassic to late Quaternary. Results are compared with previous work, in order to emphasize the advantages and limitations of using clay materials to reconstruct the patterns of paleosedimentation. |
