Abstract

Grains with thin (2 μ) oölitic coats are particularly abundant in the southeastern part of Bimini Lagoon. Turbulence is low and sediment movement is restricted by a dense benthos of Thalassia, Algae, and a subtidal gelatinous mat that binds the carbonate grains together at the sediment surface. The region has the shallowest water in the lagoon, the highest content of fine sand, and grains are well-rounded and intensively bored by Algae.
