Figure F14. Variations of the average maximum grain sizes of plagioclase, augite, olivine, and whole rock with depth in Hole 735B plotted by interval (456 points). Rock averages were calculated at each interval from the maximum grain sizes reported for each mineral weighted according to the mode. Also plotted is a smoothed line calculated as a running average over 10-m intervals. Major peaks in average grain size are noted at 510, 635, 825, 940, 100, 1215, 1300, 1425, and 1480 mbsf.
