RT Journal Article T1 Estudio comparativo de los minerales de la fracción pesada en los sedimentos de las terrazas del Río Guadalete y fondos de la Bahía de Cádiz T1 Comparative study of the heavy fraction in the terrace levels of the Guadalete river and sediments from bottom of the Bay of Cádiz A1 Moral Cardona, J. P. A1 Achab, M. A1 Domínguez Bella, S. A1 Morata Céspedes, Diego A1 Parrado Román, J. M. A1 Gutiérrez Mas, José Manuel AB Heavy minerals of sediments from bottom of the Bay of Cádiz and terraces of the Guadalete river have been studied, for establish the genetic relationships and source areas. The use of surface feature analysis using SEM gives information about morphological characteristics and separate phases of the sed im e n ta ry e v o lu tio n . The coexistence o f id io m o rp h ic , s u b id io m o rp h ic and xe n o m o rp h ic grains in these sediments indicates a high reworking grade, policyclic character of the sediments and diversification of source areas. For the Bay, two sources are suggested: a) from the continent, throught the Guadalete river, that gives mainly policyclic grains from sedimentary materials present in its bassin and, b) from the coast and littoral, throught the Guadalquivir river, that provides idiomorphic mineral grains from igneous and metamorphic terranes (Iberian Massif), arriving the Bay by littoral current action PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 1996 FD 1996 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/13198 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/13198 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 31 may 2026
