| Contents | Top (m) | Base (m) |
|---|---|---|
| 0-3cm | 0 | 0.03 |
| 20-23cm | 0.2 | 0.23 |
| 40-43cm | 0.4 | 0.43 |
| Volcanic sand interval (black) with diffuse upper and lower boundaries, not clear whether it coarsens or fines in this interval | 0.44 | 0.47 |
| Main ash layer @ 45-46cm | 0.45 | 0.46 |
| Dark brown foraminiferal mud, compact and dense cf. 0-44 interval. Appears to become darker towards the bottom (67-76cm) and this may reflect increased bioturbation. | 0.47 | 0.76 |
| 60-63cm | 0.6 | 0.63 |
| Dark brown to black volcanic siltstone | 0.76 | 0.82 |
| 80-83cm | 0.8 | 0.83 |
| Working half core | ||
| Archive half core | ||
| Brown to dark brown foraminiferal mud, highly ?watery? for upper 15cm and then increasingly compacted to 44cm. No obvious lamination but some dark streaks occur at ~27cm, probably worm burrows. At 42 cm, an orange-red Fe-oxide MnO zone occurs for about 0.5cm, but it is patchy and does not span across the entire width of the core. |
