Two ternary diagrams were constructed according to the distribution of granulometric sizes in the mixed terrigenous clastic sediments and sedimentary rocks starting from some classifications and sedimentological definitions. These diagrams are: ternary diagram SSC and ternary diagram GSM. The poles of diagram SSC are occupied by the sediments "Sand", "Silt" and "Clay" and those of diagram GSM by the sediments "Gravel", "Sand" and "Mud". These diagrams make it possible to differentiate three terrigenous clastic sediments and sedimentary rocks types: proper sediments and rocks, mixed sediments and rocks with two elements and mixed sediments and rocks with three elements.

Abstract: (french)
Deux diagrammes ternaires ont été construits sur la base de la répartition des tailles granulométriques dans les sédiments et roches sédimentaires mixtes clastiques terrigènes à partir de certaines classifications et définitions sédimentologiques. Ces diagrammes sont : diagramme ternaire SSA et diagramme ternaire GSB. Les pôles du diagramme SSA sont occupés par les sédiments « Sable », «Silt » et « Argile » et ceux du diagramme GSB par les sédiments « Gravier », « Sable » et « Boue ». Ces diagrammes permettent de différencier trois types de sédiments et roches clastiques terrigènes : les sédiments et roches propres, les sédiments et roches mixtes à deux éléments et les sédiments et roches mixtes à trois éléments.
