37. DATA REPORT: POST-CRUISE CORRECTION OF CORE DEPTHS OF MADEIRA ABYSSAL PLAIN SITES FOR GENERAL REFERENCE USE ¹

S.M. Lebreiro ² and P. P. E. Weaver ¹

ABSTRACT

Post-cruise corrections have been introduced in the core depths initially registered aboard ship to eliminate voids/gaps and intervals of disturbed material. These corrections have generally led to a shortening of the length of recovered sediment in each core and have eliminated all instances of recovered core being longer than the drilled interval. The adjustments have been done for the three Madeira Abyssal Plain sites (Holes 950A, 951A, 951B, and 952A). Easily used tables for correcting depths of samples taken in the future from any core from Holes 950A, 951A, 951B, and 952A are included on the CD-ROM accompanying this volume.
