    Anyama is located on the onshore of the sedimentary basin of Cîte d’Ivoire. It is to the east of the basin and the formations, particularly those dating back to the Quaternary may have been studied. Based on samples, collected from two drill holes (An1 and An2), each 114 m deep, a sedimentology and mineralogy characterization of Plio-Quaternary formations was carried out. The sedimentological study was assessed by taking account the lithology, the grain size, the transport model and the environment deposit of the sediments, the morphoscopy and the exoscopy of the quartz grain. The mineralogy study was made on clays through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Lithological characterization, revealed the presence of clay facies (kaolinite), sandy facies and mixed sediments, all covered with the earth bar. As for the size, it indicates coarse to medium sands with a positive asymmetry to almost positive, sands moderately classified to fairly classify. The relative mineralogy reveals the presence of silicon, aluminum and iron oxides. XRD indicates that quartz and kaolinite prevail and gypsum, rutile or anatase, illite and calcium sulfate hydrate are associated minerals

    L’étude gĂ©ochimique rĂ©alisĂ©e s’est Ă©ffectuĂ©e sur les dĂ©blais du substratum de la baie du Banco situĂ© au sud est du bassin sĂ©dimentaire cĂŽtier de la CĂŽte d’Ivoire. Cette Ă©tude vise Ă  caractĂ©riser le substratum de la baie du Banco Ă  partir des Ă©lĂ©ments chimiques ainsi que la dĂ©termination des palĂ©oconditions des environnements de dĂ©pĂŽt. La spectromĂ©trie par fluorescence Ă  rayon x (XRF) a permis de dĂ©terminer des Ă©lĂ©ments traces ainsi que les Ă©lĂ©ments majeurs prĂ©sents dans les lutites sombres du substratum. Les Ă©lĂ©ments majeurs identifiĂ©s dans les lutites sombres sont par ordre dĂ©croissant le Silicium (45,33 %), le Fer (35,56 %), l’Aluminium (9,24 %), le potassium (2,31 %), le Calcium (2,22 %), le Titane (2 ,15 %), le Chlore (2,04 %) et le Phosphore (1,12 %). L’analyse gĂ©ostatistique a permis de mettre en Ă©vidence de fortes corrĂ©lations entre la matiĂšre organique et Fe 2+, Sn, As, S. Le substratum de la baie du Banco est caractĂ©risĂ© par une forte concentration en soufre et une bioproductivitĂ© primaire plus importante en profondeur qu’en surface. Les Ă©lĂ©ments traces U, V et Mo ont permis d’identifier un milieu euxinique Ă  interface eau-sĂ©diment en subsurface du substratum tandis qu’au fond prĂ©cisĂ©ment en fin de forage, on distingue un milieu suboxique Ă  anoxique.   The geochemical study was carried out on Banco Bay bedrock cuttings located in the south-eastern part of the CĂŽte d'Ivoire coastal sedimentary basin. The aim of the study was to characterize the Banco Bay bedrock using chemical elements and to determine the paleoconditions of the depositional environments. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) was used to determine the trace elements and major elements present in the dark lutites of the bedrock. The major elements identified in the dark lutites are, in descending order, Silicon (45.33%), Iron (35.56%), Aluminium (9.24%), Potassium (2.31%), Calcium (2.22%), Titanium (2.15%), Chlorine (2.04%) and Phosphorus (1.12%). Geostatistical analysis revealed strong correlations between organic matter and Fe 2+, Sn, As, S. The Banco Bay bedrock is characterized by a high sulfur concentration and greater primary bioproductivity at depth than at surface. The trace elements U, V and Mo identified an euxinic environment at the water-sediment interface in the subsurface of the bedrock, while at the bottom, precisely at the end of the borehole, a suboxic to anoxic environment can be distinguished

    L’étude gĂ©ochimique rĂ©alisĂ©e s’est Ă©ffectuĂ©e sur les dĂ©blais du substratum de la baie du Banco situĂ© au Sud-est du bassin sĂ©dimentaire cĂŽtier de la CĂŽte d’Ivoire. Cette Ă©tude vise Ă  caractĂ©riser le substratum de la baie du Banco Ă  partir des Ă©lĂ©ments chimiques ainsi que la dĂ©termination des palĂ©oconditions des environnements de dĂ©pĂŽt. La spectromĂ©trie par fluorescence Ă  rayon x (XRF) a permis de dĂ©terminer  les Ă©lĂ©ments majeurs ainsi que des Ă©lĂ©ments traces prĂ©sents dans les lutites noirĂątres du substratum de la baie. Les Ă©lĂ©ments majeurs identifiĂ©s sont par ordre dĂ©croissant le Silicium (45,33 %), le Fer (35,56 %), l’Aluminium (9,24 %), le Potassium (2,31 %), le Calcium (2,22 %), le Titane (2 ,15 %), le Chlore (2,04 %) et le Phosphore (1,12 %). L’analyse gĂ©ostatistique a permis de mettre en Ă©vidence de fortes corrĂ©lations entre la matiĂšre organique et le fer rĂ©duit (Fe 2+), l’étain (Sn), l’arsenic (As) et le soufre (S). Le substratum de la baie du Banco est caractĂ©risĂ© par une forte concentration en soufre variant de 12475 Ă  75752 ppm et une bioproductivitĂ© primaire plus importante en profondeur qu’en surface. Les Ă©lĂ©ments traces U, V et Mo ont permis d’identifier un milieu euxinique Ă  interface eau-sĂ©diment en subsurface du substratum (0- 32 m) tandis qu’en fin de forage (78-80 m), on distingue un milieu suboxique Ă  anoxique. Ces diffĂ©rents rĂ©sultats ont permis de caractĂ©riser le substratum de la baie du Banco.   The geochemical study was carried out on cuttings from the Banco Bay bedrock in the southeastern part of the CĂŽte d'Ivoire coastal sedimentary basin. The study aimed to characterize the Banco Bay bedrock based on chemical elements and to determine the paleo conditions of the depositional environments. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) was used to determine the major and trace elements present in the blackish lutites of the bay bedrock. The major elements identified were, in descending order, Silicon (45.33%), Iron (35.56%), Aluminium (9.24%), Potassium (2.31%), Calcium (2.22%), Titanium (2.15%), Chlorine (2.04%) and Phosphorus (1.12%). Geostatistical analysis revealed strong correlations between organic matter and reduced iron (Fe 2+), tin (Sn), arsenic (As), and sulfur (S). The Banco Bay bedrock is characterized by high sulfur concentrations ranging from 12475 to 75752 ppm, and higher primary bioproductivity at depth than at the surface. Trace elements U, V, and Mo identified an euxinic environment at the water-sediment interface in the subsurface of the bedrock (0-32 m), while at the end of the borehole (78-80 m), a suboxic to anoxic environment was distinguished. These results have enabled us to characterize the bedrock of the Banco Bay

    CARACTERISATION LITHOSTRATIGRAPHIQUE DES SONDAGES ADIA 5 ET ADIA 6 D’ADIAKE : MIS EN EVIDENCE DES MOUVEMENTS EUSTATIQUES ET INFLUENCE DES GLAUCONITES SUR LES PROPRIETES PHYSIQUES DES SABLES

    The lithostratigraphic study of the drilling Adia 5 and Adia 6 permitted to understand the post-deposit evolution of the glauconites. This study permitted to show at Adiaké two eustatic movements that are the transgression and the regression. The transgression has been characterized by the presence of autochthonous glauconites and hard-ground and the regression by the presence of para-autochthonous and allochtonous glauconites. Also, this study shows that the glauconites alters themselves to form the kaolinite, the muscovite in small leaves, the iron oxides (hematite) and the iron hydroxides (goethite and limonite). Phenomena of exfoliations observe themselves on some allochtonous glauconites. The change of the glauconite to kaolinites and in ochers in the quartzous sands reduces their physical properties (framework, porosity and permeability). The presence of the ocher in the quartzous sands gives the ferruginous sandstone. The quartz of these sandstones are colored in brown and in yellow
