When examined in their sedimentologic and stratigraphic context, ichnofabrics and component ichnofossils can help decipher paleoceanography and sea-level histories from marine deposits (Savrda, 1995, http://www.jstor.org/stable/3515095). Thus far, applications of ichnology in paleoceanographic investigations have been restricted to slowly deposited, predominantly biogenic sediments and/or strata deposited in oxygen-deficient, tectonically active basins. Moreover, ichnologic applications in sequence stratigraphic studies largely have been restricted to strata deposited in relatively shallow-water shelf or foreland basin settings. The limits of previous studies provided impetus for detailed postcruise examination of Quaternary deposits recovered at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1073 on the New Jersey margin. These deposits provide the opportunity to assess the sedimentary and ichnofabric record of glacio-eustatic cycles in a passive continental slope setting characterized by relatively rapid accumulation of siliciclastic sediments in an area not far removed from the Laurentide ice margin. The primary purpose of this data report is to present basic sedimentologic and ichnologic observations made at the decimeter scale throughout the Quaternary sequence from Site 1073. Data analysis and interpretation in the context of climate and sea-level histories, as inferred from oxygen isotopic, palynologic, and seismic studies, are ongoing and will be presented in subsequent papers prepared for open literature (e.g., Savrda et al., in press).

The aim of this study was to use mechanical and photoelastic tests to compare the performance of cannulated screws with other fixation methods in mandibular symphysis fractures. Ten polyurethane mandibles were allocated to each group and fixed as follows: group PRP, 2 perpendicular miniplates; group PLL, 1 miniplate and 1 plate, parallel; and group CS, 2 cannulated screws. Vertical linear loading tests were performed. The differences between mean values were analyzed with the Tukey test. The photoelastic test was carried out using a polariscope. The results revealed differences between the CS and PRP groups at 1, 3, 5, and 10 millimeters of displacement. The photoelastic test confirmed higher stress concentration in all groups close to the mandibular base, whereas the CS group showed it throughout the region assessed. Conical cannulated screws performed well in mechanical and photoelastic tests.
