The paper presents the characteristics of the coarse clasts (psephites, larger than 1 cm) sampled in the northern part of the Franz Victoria Trough (Barents Sea) during the “Transarktika-2019” expedition. The studied sedimentary section was formed during the transition from the last deglaciation environments to the marine Holocene settings. The amount of psephites in deglacial sediments is much higher than the one in Holocene sediments. The petrographic composition of the psephites, their roundness (according to Waddell and Khabakov classifications) and shape (according to Zingg classification) were studied in detail. It is shown that the majority of psephites is represented by non-rounded or poorly rounded varieties. Isometric and disc-type shapes are predominating among coarse clasts. Isometric psephites prevail in “deglacial sediments”, while disc-shaped, bladed, and rodlike, as a rule, are current in marine Holocene sediments. The petrographic composition of psephites is mostly represented with carbonate
