The phrase "analysis of the sediments" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or academic contexts when discussing the examination or study of sedimentary materials.
Example: "The analysis of the sediments revealed important information about the geological history of the area."
Alternatives: "examination of the sediments" or "study of the sediments".
Analysis of the sediments proved that the fossil came from the Tiaojishan formation as the dealer claimed, and not younger deposits nearby.
These preferences are recognized by two methods: (1) studies of the distribution of modern foraminifera and (2) analysis of the sediments containing ancient microfossils.
Dr. Carl C. Swisher 3rd of the Berkeley Geochronology Center in California determined the approximate age of the skulls by geochemical and paleomagnetic analysis of the sediments and the presence of small rodent bones of a well-established age that were found with the human fossils.
The landscape around the Graeco-Roman town of Neapolis was reconstructed through morphostratigraphic methods and pollen analysis of the sediments filling the bay hosting the ancient harbor.
SEM analysis of the sediments (Figure 1) revealed the presence of spheroidal ZnS precipitates.

Stable isotope analysis of the sediment gave fascinating insights into just where the carbon that is being held comes from.
Samples were taken for particle size analysis of the sediment units to characterise the aeolian sand deposits ('coversands') and the underlying clayey silty sandy sediments interbedded with paler laminae.
The authors based our geological analysis of the sediment-basement interface on drilling, geological, and geophysical data available for the Soultz geothermal wells.
Physicochemical analysis of the sediment samples revealed moderately saline nature of the soil with a pH of 7.22 and electrical conductivity of 2.33 dS m−1 (Table 1).
When archaeologists in Africa discovered "Lucy," the fossil remains of the ancient hominid species Australopithecus afarensis, Dr. Walter's analysis of the surrounding sediments helped determine its age.
