Bulk mineralogic and geochemical data have been compiled for Sites 1006, 1008, and 1009 in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3, respectively. In addition to the data, the ODP sample identifier, depth (in mbsf), and degree of lithification (as defined above) of each sample analyzed are also tabulated. In Table 2 and Table 3, the shipboard lithologic classification (Eberli, Swart, Malone, et al., 1997) of each sample is listed. Data are depicted graphically vs. depth in Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5.
