in the study area. However, the Sr distribution within the wells
indicates high and low values which correspond to the terrestrial
and marine influence on the lithosomes. Sr values increase
seawards in the terrigenous lithosomes of wells LL 1 and LL 3
(fluvial) ranges between 50 ppm to as high as 120 ppm in the
marginal marine lithosomes. The content of Ba ranges from
250 ppm to 289 ppm in fluvial lithosomes, and is 180 ppme
310 ppm in the shallow marine lithosomes while it ranges from
185 ppm to 340 ppm in marginal marine lithosomes. Ba distributions
follow the same trend of Sr (Fig. 16, Table 5).
