Clay with various amounts of diatoms, nannofossils, and authigenic minerals at Holes 1075A, 1076A, and 1077A. B. Organic-rich clay with abundant diatoms at Hole 1084A. C. Organic-rich clay with high carbonate contents at Hole 1082A. D. Carbonate-rich sediments (oozes) from Holes 1081A, 1084A, and 1085A.
