Caracterização de fáceis sedimentares de testemunho recuperado no estuário de Macuse-Namacurra

Abstract

The study of sedimentary facies in the Macuse estuary is fundamental for the information of the geology of Mozambique due to its scarcity. Macuse Estuary was chosen for its slightly erosive and siltated environment. A point was identified where the sampling was made using recovered core and its characterization was made by relating the parameters such as color and grain size; from this relationship the brown, gray and black color was observed; It was also observed three easy to control with predominance of Fs facies indicative of a low energy environment and preservation of organic matter; granulometry of various sediments of gray-colored sand, silt and clay.
