Figure F16. Thin section photographs of cuttings samples and core. A. Sample 319-C0009A-23-SMW (792.7–797.7 m MSF, Unit II) (polarized light) with (i) sediment fragments probably reworked from Outer Zone of Japan, and (ii, iii) metasediment grains. B. Same as A in cross-polarized light. C. Sample 319-C0009A-156-SMW (1422.7–1427.7 m MSF, Unit IV) (polarized light) with sponge spicule fragments, (i) globigerins, and (ii) a fragment of mollusk. D. Same as C in reflected light, displaying pyritization of smaller organic fragments. E. Turbiditic layering in a packed biomicrite from Core 319-C0009A-06R-04 (~1557 m CSF, Unit IV). F. Sample 319-C0009A-160-SMW (1437.7–1442.7 m MSF, Unit IV) representing a typical interturbiditic biomicrite (silty claystone) with (i) globigerins and (ii) radiolarians.
