Grain-size, carbon and calcium carbonate at DSDP Leg 77 Holes

Sand-silt-clay distribution was determined on 10-cm**3 sediment samples collected at the time the cores were split and described.

Physical properties of sediments at DSDP Sites 93-603, 93-604, and 93-605

On Leg 93, physical properties measurements were made of vertical and horizontal sonic velocity, acoustic impedance, vane shear strength, and penetrometer strength, using procedures discussed in Boyce (1973, 1976, 1984). Gravimetric procedures were used to determine wet-bulk density, grain density, porosity, and water content, using either the chunk method or the cylinder method. Calcium carbonate content of Leg 93 sediments was determined by the carbonate.
