Table T6. Summary of lithologic units, Site C0001. (See table note.)
| Depth CSF (m) |
Unit | Subunit | Lithology | Environmental interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.00–168.35 | I | A | Silty clay, volcanic ash | Hemipelagic settling and ash falls on trench slope, well above CCD |
| 168.35–196.76 | B | Silty clay, thin silt beds | Hemipelagic settling and silty turbidity currents near base of trench slope | |
| 196.76–207.17 | C | Sand, silty clay | Sandy turbidity currents at base of trench slope | |
| 207.17–456.50 | II | Silty clay, rare layers of silt, sand, and volcanic ash | Hemipelagic settling below CCD, probably near outer margin of trench wedge |
Note: CSF = core depth below seafloor, CCD = carbonate compensation depth.
