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

Grain-size, carbona and calcium carbonate at DSDP Leg 58 Holes

Sand-silt-clay distribution was determined on 10-cm**3 sediment samples collected at the time the cores were split and described. The sediment classification used here is that of Shepard (1954), with the sand, silt, and clay boundaries based on the Wentworth (1922) scale. Thus the sand, silt, and clay fractions are composed of particles whose diameters are 2000 to 62.5 µm, 62.5 to 3.91 µm, and less than 3.91 µm, respectively. This classification is applied without regard to sediment type and origin; therefore, the sediment names used in this table may differ from those used elsewhere in this volume; e.g., a silt composed of nannofossils may be called a nannofossil ooze in a site chapter.
