Figure F5. Line-scan images from most common lithologies, Site U1404. A. Pleistocene foraminiferal sand in nannofossil ooze, Unit I. B. Pliocene–Pleistocene nannofossil ooze, Unit I. C. Miocene biosiliceous clay and biosiliceous clay with nannofossils, Subunit IIb. Note the typical alternation between greenish gray and dark greenish gray. The latter color is associated with greater abundance of calcareous nannofossil. Clay in Subunit IIa has a similar macroscopic appearance. D. Latest Eocene clay with nannofossils, Unit III. E. Latest Eocene nannofossil ooze, Unit III. F. Eocene claystone, Unit IV.
