Facies structure and quantitative parameters of the Fiji sea pleistocene sediments

Lithological-facies zonality of Neo- and Eopleistocene sediments from the Fiji Sea is described firstly. Processing of corresponding maps and isopachite schemes by volumetric method of A.B. Ronov gave us an opportunity to calculate quantitative parameters of sedimentation for revealed different types of Pleistocene sediments. Carbonate sediments dominate among other groups of sediments. In Neopleistocene carbonate plankton sediments have been accumulated more intensively than in Eopleistocene. The highest volcanic-tectonic activity is typical for Eopleistocene.
