Figure F1. Results of index properties measurements performed on 30 Leg 169 samples from Hole 856H. Elevated-pressure compressional wave velocity data for a subset of 11 samples are shown in the far right panel. Velocities are reported at 50 MPa for sulfide-rich, medium-grained sediment (Unit VI), sandy turbidite (Unit II) samples, and the altered siltstone interbed sample from Unit VII; 30 MPa for fine-grained samples from Units VI and II; and 90 MPa for basaltic sill (Unit VII) and altered basaltic flow (Unit VIII) samples. Results for Section 169-856H-25R-2 (Subunit VIA) are given at 20 MPa because the sample failed at 30 MPa. × = Unit VI (feeder zone sediment + sulfide) samples; + = Unit II (hemipelagic/turbidite sediments); squares = Unit VII (basalt sill/sediment complex); and triangles = Unit VIII (basaltic flows, or oceanic basement).
