(1983) and Gardner and Klise (1983) in which microfossil, mineralogical, sedimentological, and geochemical data are presented from stratigraphic sequences and surface samples from the continental slope and shelf off northern California adjacent to the Russian River. Gardner et al (1983) present stratigraphic data from cores V1-80-P3, V1-80-G1, and V1-80- PS. Gardner and Klise (1983) present data on mineralogical and sedimentological data from surface samples, and this report presents stratigraphic data from core L13-81-G138 and surface data from 75 samples (Figure 1 and Table 1). These data were collected as part of an ongoing project to understand the sedimentation history and paleoceanographic conditions on a segment of the northern California margin. The purpose of this report is to tabulate the above data and make them available to others working in this environment.

Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: For the original data, analytical precision from replicate runs on the RSA is 5% and on the hydrophotometer the precision is 10%. For usSEABED, data were digitized, visually compared to the source and corrected. Where appropriate, data were tested for completeness using MS Excel. Locations checked using GIS. Logical_Consistency_Report: Data fall within normal ranges for the given parameters. Completeness_Report: No estimate made for original data. For inclusion into usSEABED, all textural data in the report were included; Carbon, petrographic analyses of the silt fraction, and clay mineral analyses will be included at a later date. Geochemical data (major, minor, and rare earth elements) exist for some samples. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Navigation during all cruises was by Miniranger and provided nominal position accuracy of 50 m. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Water depth determination probably by 3.5 kHz profiling systems. Subsample depths given as nearest centimeter. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Samples for grain size analysis were first washed with demineralized water, then treated with a solution of ;30% H202 to oxidize organic matter. The sample was then washed in a dilute Calgon solution to disperse the clay-sized material. This solution was passed through 200 um and 6;3urn mesh sieves. The materials in the size range between 200 and 63 microns were analyzed by a 2-m long Rapid Sediment Analyser (RSA). Materials smaller than 63 microns were analysed by hydrophotometer.
