Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta and Ciénaga de Pajarales are the two main lagoons of the marginal lagunar system at the deltaic floodplain of Magdalena river, Caribbean coast of Colombia. A systematic surficial sampling was carried out in such lagoons and Salamanca coast. A sporadic sampling was done in other places of the deltaic plain. This paper presents results about grain size, mineralogy, organic matter contents, CaCOa contents, X ray diffraction and chemical analysis of salts for sediments. Sedimentologic charts, distribution schemes and provenience notes are presented.
