In this study, six sediment cores of 21 - 29 cm long were collected from the Nansha Sea area, and biogenic silica and carbonate in the se- diment cores were determined. The range of biogenic silica content (SiO2%) is from 0.87% to 4.91% with the average of 2.08%. The carbonate content is in the range between 15.5% and 57.0% with the average of 33.2%. The biogenic silica and carbonate contents of sediment cores do not have an obvious same tendency with the depth changing. For all samples, biogenic silica, carbo- nate, organic carbon, and water content, show a positive correlation.
