These shelf sediments can be divided into an inner and middle clean sand facies and an outer shelf muddy sand facies. Sediment data supports the view that the outer muddy sediment is relict; the sharp "mud line" at about 35 fathoms results not from modern deposition, but from the winnowing more extensive muddy sediment. Purpose: The purpose of this dataset is to provide a digital version of the sediment data published in McKinney and Friedman (1970) in a form that can be used to interpret the surficial sediment distribution off southern New England.
