I IA 1H-1, 0 7H-CC, 17
0.0 62.0





Skeletal wackestone to grainstone with planktonic foraminifers, pteropods, and variety of microfossils. Light gray to greenish gray. Hemipelagic setting (drift deposits)

IB 7H-CC, 17 22H-5, 18
62.0 200.6





Mudstone to skeletal packstone with predominantly planktonic foraminifers. Light greenish gray to olive-gray. Hemipelagic setting (drift deposits)
II IIA 22H-5, 18 ?
200.6 224.8
? 4R-1, 55
? 225.0 Skeletal packstone to grainstone, predominantly fine grained with planktonic foraminifers, abundant larger benthic foraminifers, and neritic material. White to pale brownish white and slightly dolomitized. Periplatform setting

IIB





4R-1, 55 15R-1, 0
225.0 330.3 Skeletal packstone to grainstone and skeletal grainstone/floatstone to rudstone, coarse grained, with lepidocyclinids, rhodoliths, and corals. White to pale yellow and slightly dolomitized. Proximal slope, periplatform setting

IIC





15R-1, 0 22R-1, 0
330.3 397.6 Skeletal grainstone to packstone (brownish white), fine grained, and silt-sized packstone to grainstone with clay. Light gray to light olive-gray and slightly dolomitized between 330 and 360 mbsf. Periplatform setting
III IIIA





22R-1, 0 27R-1, 144
397.6 447.1 Mudstone to silt-sized packstone with clay, cyclic alternation of lithologies. Light to dark greenish gray and slightly dolomitized. Occurrence of small fining-upward sequences. Hemipelagic (deepening upward?); cyclic sedimentation

IIIB





27R-1, 144 33R-1, 23
447.1 503.6 Silt-sized packstone to grainstone with more abundant glauconite (at base of subunit) and less clay than Subunit IIIA. Light greenish gray to light olive-gray and slightly dolomitized. Hemipelagic (deepening upward?); cyclic sedimentation, some influence of distal periplatform shedding?
