The paper presents the terrigenous material discharged in the Black Sea basin, partially accumulated on littoral, its patterns of distribution into superficial sediment layer and the factors leading to the formation of mineralogical provinces and associations. The Danubian terrigenous mineralogical province is characterised by a mixture of some old and new sediments, marine and deltaic. The variety of the heavy mineral associations is due to the existence of a multicycled material proving a coast line migration. The influence of a supplementary supply, the erosion of old sediment belts and the direction of the currents changed the distribution of the heavy minerals
