Rocks were collected under contract with the Office of Naval Research, Contract Nonr 1286; (10) Project NR 083-102
No abstract is given in the paper, which mainly consists of a table of sample locations, sampler type, and general lithologies for rock samples only. A brief explanation is given about sampler types and sampling processes, and a figure gives sample location and generalized bathymetric contours.
No specific purpose is given in the report, although a comment is made about the interest in the oil potential off of Oregon.

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.
For usSEABED, Table 1 (Rock samples - Oregon continental terrace; including locations, sampler type, and lithologic description) completely digitized. Duplicate data (see Maloney 1965) are not included in usSEABED under this source (n = 37 of 138).
Navigation by LORAN or radar; no navigation precision given in report. Positions given to minute-tenths. Beginning and end locations are given for some trawls and dredges; in usSEABED, midpoints of these lines are used as point locations of samples.
No water depths are given in the report.
No process description is given in the report. Only simple lithologic descriptions are given for the rock samples.
