This paper discussed the fractal features of grain size distribution of the core sediments from the depocenter of the Zhejiang-Fujian mud wedge on the inner shelf of the East China Sea (ECS), and the correlation between mean grain size and sorting coefficient. The EC2005 sediment grains falls within the fractal scaleless zone of cumulative percentage between 5% and 95%.The core sediment is characterized with high self similarity and(or fractal) grain-size distribution. The mean grain sizes of the sediments are in both positive and negative proportion to fractal dimension. The study reveals the positive and negative correlations between mean grain-size and fractal dimension, and this is different from the previous studies to some extent. Therefore, much research needs to be further carried out.
