This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.00001. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.00001. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.

This report is a companion to Gardner, et al. (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. "

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.
Navigation during all cruises was by Miniranger and provided nominal position accuracy of 50 m.
Water depth determination probably by 3.5 kHz profiling systems. Subsample depths given as nearest centimeter.
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.
Data fall within normal ranges for the given parameters.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
