Figure F9. Lithostratigraphy of Site C0008 with relative abundances of smectite, illite, chlorite, kaolinite, and quartz in clay-size fractions of mud(stone). Calculations were made using singular value decomposition (SVD) normalization factors. Also shown are values of expandability (%) of illite/smectite (I/S) mixed-layer clays and detailed comparisons between mudstone clasts, silty clay matrix, and background hemipelagic mud from Subunit IIB (mass transport deposits). MTD = mass transit deposit.
