Figure F19 (continued). I. The 9 inch Bowen fishing magnet used for Run 10. J. The fishing magnet could not be deployed all the way to the bottom of the hole, as increased pump pressure indicated loss of circulation at ~1434 mbsf. When back on the rig floor, 4 m of fine-grained cuttings were found inside the bit sub and the two junk baskets. This marked the beginning of a series of fishing runs, which eventually cleared the hole of a massive amount of fine-grained sandlike cuttings. K.
