Figure F6. Comparison of LWD bulk density to clay mineralogy, lithology, and structurally defined limits of the décollement zone at Site 948 (Shipboard Scientific Party, 1995; Underwood and Deng, 1997). This site is the locality farthest west of the deformation front that still penetrates the décollement zone. Note that the décollement zone still includes two low-density intervals that are interpreted as remnants of a former thick, low-density interval as seen in Figure F5. Also note that the décollement zone here has thickened to 33 m and includes all of the radiolarian claystone lithology.
