Figure F2. Ternary plots outlining the classification used to describe Leg 210 sedimentary rocks. Basic sedimentary rock types are defined using proportions of biogenic silica, carbonate, and terrigenous or volcanic components. The terrigenous scheme is expanded to allow for more detailed rock names based on the proportions of sand, silt, and clay in the rock. The lower triangle is simplified and modified from Shepard (1954). Additional rock types (e.g., conglomerate, mudrock, and grainstone) are described in the text.
