Figure F2. Shipboard observations and interpretations from ODP Site 1073 (Shipboard Scientific Party, 1998). Lithology is dominated by silty clay. Porosity was determined shipboard by wet and dry mass and volume measurements of core samples (Blum, 1994; Shipboard Scientific Party, 1998). Shear strength measurements are a combination of automated shear strength and penetrometer measurements. Sedimentation rates are based on shipboard-derived ages. Expt. Section = the location of samples that were used in this experimental study. Thin section = the depths for which thin sections were made for grain size, lithologic, and mineralogic interpretation. Thin section and SEM images are provided in the "Appendix."
