Abstract

Detailed sedimentary study of two sections (Mouled and Bsouter) of AL- Qerdaha sheet has been carried out, were the property and distribution of sediments were studied in order to determine the energy of the medium and infer the invironment of sedimentation by studying the grainy size parameters (median, mean, skewness, sorting and kurtosis). The results of the study showed, in general, the control of silty sand of medium size(fine sand and very fine sand), moderate sorting, negative skewed, and mesokurtic to platykurtic. The metal composition was determined by X R D analyzes. These parameters confirm that the sediments were deposited under moderate to low energy conditions, and medium to relatively deep sedimentation environment.
