Abstract

This study was carried out in order to investigate the mineralogical characteristics of the core sediments (03GHP-02 and HB13-2), obtained from the Ulleung Basin and Hupo Basin, Korea. The results on mineral compositions, clay mineral compositions, and the total contents and sequential extraction of different fractions of the phosphorus in core samples showed that those values are different in two cores and also at different depths. In both samples, mineral compositions were the same, composed mainly of quartz, microcline, albite, calcite, opal A, pyrite, and clay minerals (illite, chlorite, kaolinite, and smectite). However, the sample from Hupo Basin contains more opal A. Both samples, especially the ones from Hupo Basin contains more smectite than those reported from East Sea, indicating the influence of paleo-Hwangwei River and the Tertiary Formation of Korea Peninsula. For the samples from Uleung Basin, at 0.7-3.5 m range in depth, the low content of opal A and the low illite crystallinity index can be inferred to indicate the relatively cool climate, corresponding to the ice age. Also, the content of total phosphorus was low in those samples. It was reported that East Sea at that time was isolated from the neighboring seas due to the decrease of the sea level, and as a result, the influx of sediments was supposed to be little through the strait and rivers. For the samples from Hupo Basin, there is no significant changes in clay mineral composition and the distribution of phosphorus with increasing depth. This little change can be interpreted to indicate that the sediments comprising the core might be deposited in a relatively short period of time or deposited in sedimentary environment in which there's no significant changes in sediment supplies. The values of crystallinity index of clay minerals are high in those samples, indicating that it was relatively warm during that time. Although the increase of fluctuation pattern can be observed, showing that the climate of this period often changed, it is supposed that it was generally warm.

울릉분지와 후포분지의 퇴적물 코어 시료(각 분지에서 하나씩 03GHP-02와 HB13-2)를 대상으로 광물학적 연구를 수행하였다. 광물조성, 점토광물 성분, 그리고 총 인 성분 및 인의 연속추출법 연구 결과, 두 시료들은 각 값에 대하여 또한 깊이에 따라 어느 정도 차이가 있음을 보이고 있다. 두 시료 모두 광물 종에는 차이를 보이지 않았으며 주로 석영, 미사장성, 장석, 방해석, 오팔A, 황철석, 그리고 점토광물(일라이트, 녹니석, 카올리나이트, 스멕타이트)로 구성되어 있었다. 후포분지의 경우 울릉분지에 비하여 오팔A 함량이 훨씬 많은 것으로 나타났다. 두 시료 모두, 특히 후포분지 시료에서 기존에 동해에서 보고된 것보다 더 많은 스멕타이트가 동정되었는데 이는 고황하강의 영향과 한반도의 제3기 지층 암석에 영향을 받은 것으로 사료된다. 울릉분지 시료의 경우 약 0.7-3.5 m 깊이에 오팔A의 함량 감소 그리고 일라이트 결정도 지수도 낮게 나오며 이는 빙하시대의 추운 기후에 해당된다. 이 깊이의 시료에서는 인의 함량도 상대적으로 낮게 나오고 있다. 이는 이 기간 동안 동해는 해수면의 하강으로 외부 해역과 단절되었고 해협 및 하천을 통한 퇴적물의 유입도 적었기 때문으로 판단된다. 후포분지 시료의 경우 울릉분지에 비하여 깊이에 따른 점토광물 변화와 인의 성분 변화는 크게 관찰되지 않는다. 이러한 경향은 울릉분지에 비하여 비교적 짧은 기간에 퇴적되었거나 퇴적환경의 변화가 별로 없는 환경에서 퇴적되었기 때문으로 해석된다. 점토광물의 결정도 지수는 울릉분지에 비하여 약간 높아 퇴적되었을 당시 비교적 온난한 환경이었을 것으로 추측되며 인의 연구 결과로 미루어 볼 때 비록 어느 정도 변화는 있지만 또한 온난한 환경을 지시한다.
