Estudio de las características sedimentológicas de la zona litoral comprendida entre Anconcito y General Villamil (Playas), Provincia del Guayas, Ecuador

Abstract

Cabe señalar que el presente artículo, ya que ha sido redactado sólo en base a los datos granulométricos, y parámetros estadísticos, sucederá otro, en el que se incluye, el estudio mineralógico y químico de los sedimentos.

Based upon textural characteristics and statistical parameters, marine sediments were studies from 61 samples coming from the area between Ancocncito and General Villamil (Playas). Fine to very fine sand, moderatelly well sorted, negative assymmetricals are predominant in that area, with a percentage of 70%. Muddy sediments are located front of Ancocncito. Comparing these analysis with investigations performedon 1975, these are not significant variations related with texture and distribution of sediments.
