Geochemical evidence for palaeo-environments of algal mats and peat in Sri Lanka
Open Access
|Jun 1983Abstract
V/Mn ratios with the organic carbon content and a C-29 sterol compound indicative of higher plants in a terrestrial environment have been used to demarcate the different palaeo-environments of algal mats and peat deposits of Sri Lanka. These chemical parameters were found to be especially useful in the delineation of marine, tidal-flat, lagoonal and terrestrial environments of deposition.
