Figure F6. Seismic section from 1999 3-D multichannel seismic (MCS) Inline 38 over Site U1327. A bottom-simulating reflector (BSR) is clearly identifiable where it falls within the accreted sediments. In the deeper slope basins the BSR merges with regular reflectivity and becomes indiscernible. The reflection strength is reduced compared to what was observed in MCS Line 89-08 as attributed to the frequency-dependent behavior of the BSR (Chapman et al., 2002). CDP = common depth point, V.E. = vertical exaggeration.
