Figure F18. Soupy and mousselike sediment textures related to the presence of gas hydrate in dark gray silty clay and dark greenish gray diatom clayey silt in lithostratigraphic Unit III (interval 311-U1325B-16X-1, 66–100 cm). Because the photograph was taken one day after the core was split, the sediment has dried significantly. A soupy interval that was observed between 73 and 76 cm shortly after the core was split can no longer be observed.
