Abstract

Heavily silicified diatom frustules oí the species Triceratium favus EHRENBERG were found to be a good natural tracer for the upstream transport of suspended particulate matter of marine origin across the freshwater‐seawater interface within the Weser Estuary. An inverse relationship between the distance of upstream transport and the river‐discharge is obvious.
