Figure F39. Mineralogical bulk compositions determined by XRD analyses of core samples, Hole C0002J. A limited depth range is plotted for core samples from Hole C0002B (Expedition 315 Scientists, 2009b) and cuttings samples from Hole C0002F for comparison. Note that the cuttings sampled from Hole C0002F retain the compositional character of Unit III deeper in the hole because of mixing across the drilled interval. Cuttings samples may also show somewhat higher carbonate content in Unit III than is observed in other holes.
