This work relies on the shipboard core descriptions and stratigraphic and physical properties data measured by the Leg 178 Shipboard Scientific Party. I particularly thank all the members of the sampling shifts. Steve Moreton carried out much of the sample preparation, and he and Adrian Palmer at RHBNC operated the Sedigraph. Mike Meredith kindly performed the spectral analysis. Peter Barker, David Piper, and Kari Strand provided useful comments on the manuscript.
