TvD PB #61

Brown sediment with well dispersed clasts ranging from small to large. Clast shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Lineations can be seen throughout the sample. There is one small patch of another domain present. This domain is light brown, and contains clasts that are clustered together. Grain crushing is abundant in this domain, as well as in other areas of the sample.

AB1-2

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large in size. Clast shape ranges from sub-angular to sub-rounded. Many grains are fractured throughout the sample. Some lineations can be seen. The sample contains well dispersed clasts.

WB-3b

Dark brown sediment with well dispersed clasts. The clasts range from small to large in size and sub-angular to sub-rounded in shape. The sample is abundant in rotation structures and lineations. It also contains comet structures and minor amounts of grain stacking.

9 AUG B-M-D

This sample contains a fine grained, dark grey ground mass with well dispersed clasts. Clasts are not abundant but range from small to large. The clast shape ranges from sub-angular to sub-rounded. A few faint rotation structures can be seen. Minor amounts of lineations can also be seen.

MF-1

Brown sediment with well dispersed clasts ranging from small to large. Clast shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Lineations and rotation structures can be seen in this sample. Minor amounts of edge-to-edge grain crushing can also be seen.

Electrochemical co-deposition of bimetallic Pt-Ru nanoclusters dispersed on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and electrocatalytic behavior for methanol oxidation

Nanoclusters of bimetallic Pt-Ru are electrochemically deposited on conductive polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT), which is also electrochemically deposited on a carbon paper substrate. The bimetallic deposition is carried out in an acidic electrolyte consisting of chloroplatinic acid and ruthenium chloride at 0.0 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE) on PEDOT coated carbon paper. A thin layer PEDOT on a carbon paper substrate facilitates the formation of uniform, well-dispersed, nano clusters of Pt-Ru of mean diameter of 123 nm, which consist of nanosize particles. In the absence of PEDOT, the size of the clusters is about 251 nm, which are unevenly distributed on carbon paper substrate. Cyclic voltammetry studies suggest that peak currents of methanol oxidation are several times greater on PtRu-PEDOT electrode than on Pt-Ru electrode in the absence of PEDOT. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

HG 473.45-473.55

Light brown, coarse grained sediment with a few patches of a finer grained domain. Clasts range from small to medium in size. The finer grained domain mainly contains small sized grains that are very well dispersed. Clast shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Edge-to-edge grain crushing is common in the coarser domain, with a few grain stacks. The finer grained domain contains a few lineations.

ARTHUR 3

Dark brown sediment, almost appears black. This may be due to organic material. Clasts are very well dispersed and range from small to medium in size. The clast shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Lineations can be seen in this sample. There are also a few examples of grain crushing that can be seen.

PB #2B

Dark brown sediment that appears almost black. This may be due to organic content. Clasts are well dispersed and range from small to medium. The clast shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Lineations can be seen throughout the sample. Grain crushing can also be seen in minor amounts.

PBURWELL #5-87

Brown sample with two domains. One domain contains many small grains that are clustered together. The other domain is a darker brown and contains clasts that are well dispersed. The clasts range from small to large, and are angular to sub-rounded in shape. Lineations are commonly seen throughout both domains. A few rotation structures can also be seen in the well dispersed domain. Some grain crushing/ stacking can also be seen throughout the sample.

TVD #9 PB

Dark brown sediment (almost black), with a few clasts that are very well dispersed. The clasts range from small to medium in size. The clast shape ranges from sub-angular to rounded. The sample is mainly structureless. There are a few inclusions of a lighter domain. This domain contains more clasts than the darker one.

MB-x-2

Dark brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large in size. The clast shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. Clasts appear fractured, weathered, and are well dispersed. Lineations and rotation structures are commonly seen throughout the sample. A few comet structures and grain stacks can also be seen.

HI

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large. The clast shape ranges from angular to sub-rounded. The clasts in the sample are well dispersed. This sample is mainly dominated by large clasts. Rotation structures are common throughout the sample, mainly around the larger clasts. Some lineations and grain crushing can also be seen.

GAO 34

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large in a sandy matrix. Clast shape ranges from angular to rounded. The clasts are mainly well dispersed. Rotation structures are common in this sample, along with grain crushing. Some lineations can also be seen in this sample.

AB-2

Brown sediment with clasts ranging from small to large in size. Clast shape ranges from sub-angular to sub-rounded. The clasts are generally well dispersed, with a few areas of closer aggregates. Lineations are common throughout the sample. A few rotation structures and a few areas of edge-to-edge grain crushing can also be seen. Comet structures can also be seen in very minor amounts.
