Figure F12. Core images of examples of green glauconitic and black sulfitic horizons, Site U1408. Note the crosscutting relationship between the green and black horizons and the Zoophycos burrows. The crosscutting relationship indicates that the diagenetic horizons were not formed at the sediment/water interface. Rather, they must have been formed at some time and depth below the zone of active bioturbation.
