Notes: * = XRF analysis from Castillo et al. (1992), includes number of analyses per section; — = no data, Y = yes, N = no, XRF = X- ray fluorescence, PP = physical properties, TSB = thin- section billet, *2 = two samples. Cores 129- 801C- 1R to 12R were described in the "Site 801" chapter of the Leg 129 Initial Reports volume (Shipboard Scientific Party, 1990) and modified for consistency downhole during Leg 185 to include some subunits within the existing units. Cores 185- 801C- 13R to 52M are described in this chapter. Only a portion of this table appears here. The complete table is available in ASCII format.
