Figure F25. Method of sampling and isolation of three samples of saw cuttings, Expedition 345. For other explanation, see text. A. The unsorted “mud sample” is acquired by allowing the cuttings and wash water to stand for 12 h. B. The supernatant suspension is filtered to remove lingering silt-sized particles (the >10 µm sample), and the suspended clay-size particles are isolated in a centrifuge.
