초록

한반도 동해 남부 대륙붕에 분포하는 탄산질-쇄설성분 혼합 퇴적물에서 성분별 입도분석을 실시하여, 퇴적 환경 및 퇴적기작을 해석하였다. 쇄설성분은 평균입도가 중립사와 세립사 범위였으며, 분급이 양호한 단빈도 입도분포를 나타내었다. 이들 쇄설 퇴적물은 해수면이 낮았던 지난 빙하기동안 해빈 퇴적환경에서 집적되었으며, 전형적인 잔류퇴적물로 해석된다. 패각류가 우세한 탄산질 성분은 거의 파쇄된 상태이며, 표면이 심하게 풍화되었다. 이들 패각도 빙하기동안 천해환경에서 서식하였던 잔류기원 패각편으로 해석된다. 한편 입도특성은 쇄설성 성분에 비하여 다소 조립하며, 분급도는 불량하였다. 이들 패각편 탄산질 성분은 집적된 이후 지속적인 파쇄 및 분급작용에 의해 입도분포의 특징이 조절된 것으로 해석된다.

Grain size analysis have been made for the carbonate-detrital mixed sediments on the continental shelf off the southeastern coast of Korea. The detrital components are well-sorted with mean grain size between 2-3 phi. The detrital components are thought to be deposited in the beach environment during the glacial times when the sea level was low, representing typical 'relict' sediments. Most of the carbonate components consist of shell fragments, and are deeply weathered. They are also interpreted as the relict components that were deposited in the shallow marine environment. The carbonate fraction are coarser-grained and poorly sorted compared to the detrital component. The carbonate components are thought to have experienced the continuous environmental control of fragmentation and selective size sorting after the deposition.
