PhD. dissertation
Not recorded
Late Pleistocene and Holocene geologic history of the Strait of Juan de Fuca [is] preserved in the bottom sediment. The purpose of this dissertation is to determine the stratigraphic and sedimentary environments of these deposits and to examine the foraminiferal succession into the strait after deglaciation.

Elmer Anderson at the University of Washington for the collection and analysis of data. For inclusion into usSEABED: Digitization: Jennifer Mendonca (USGS); Formatting corrections: Jane Reid (USGS) and Chris Jenkins (University of Colorado)

No estimate made for the accuracy of the data in the original report. Data digitized by the USGS and partners were visually compared to the source data, and corrected. Where appropriate, data were tested for completeness using MS Excel. Locations checked using GIS.
Data fall within normal ranges for the given parameters.
Numeric data completely digitized; data not digitized include foraminifera
Station positions were determined by radar fix off known land points. Because of the narrowness of the strait (less than 24 kilometers) position was within +/- 0.3 kilometers.
Positions given to minute-tenths.
Water depths not recorded in report. Subsample depths given to nearest millimeter.
Sub-samples were wet sieved through zero-phi and four-phi screens. Sand-size distribution was determined by settling tube; silts and clays by pipette analysis. Carbonate carbon and total carbon were determined by using a LECO induction furnace and a carbon determinator.
For inclusion in usSEABED, textural classes were recalculated to include the gravel fraction in the percentages.
