Abstract

Fine-silt to medium-sand grain-size spectra of the carbonate-free fractions of 115 sea bed samples from the northern North Atlantic, the Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay can be explained as mixtures of five distinct end-members. The five end-members resemble combinations of grain-size modes which are characteristic of till-matrix. Therefore the ultimate source of most of the terrigenous deep-sea sediments in the study area is probably the veneer of glacial communication products on the surrounding continents.
