Summary

Average major and trace element data are reported for recent sediments from Saldanha Bay and Langebaan Lagoon. Chemically, the sediments are composed mainly of SiO2 and CaCO3 (SiO2 + CaCO3 > 93 %). The sediments are considered to be a three-component mix of quartz, calcite and a granitic fraction presumed to be derived from local granitic rocks.
