Figure F8. FMS image showing thick-bedded sands of Facies C (Hole 1118A; 843.3-846.0 mbsf). This image is fuzzy because the borehole wall is irregular in these friable sands, leading to locally poor contact of the spring-loaded pads. The silts and muds may simply be the finer-grained tops of the sand-prone turbidites or may, in part, consist of thin silty turbidite interbeds. The four strip images are located at right angles to one another around the borehole wall and follow the track taken by each spring-loaded pad as it was pulled up the open hole. A pseudo-weathering profile between the images for pads 2 and 3 indicates relative grain-size variations. DPORO values are extracted from Figure F3 and indicate greater clay content with higher values (Célérier et al., this volume). Note that DPORO values are all higher than those in Figure F5.
