The sediment samples were obtained on RV Oceaneer cruises in 1966 and 1967. Samples analyzed from Oceanner Cruise 5 were taken from laminations in vibratory cores. Multiple grab samples were taken from stations in Oceaneer Cruise 10 and Cruise 14. The analyses of approximately 618 samples are presented in this report. Purpose: No purpose given in report Supplemental_Information: This study has been part of a cooperative project by the Department of Oceanography and the Marine Geology Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey. Funds for the departmental personnel have been provided through Department of Interior Grant 14-08-001-10924.

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. Logical_Consistency_Report: Data fall within normal ranges for the given parameters. Completeness_Report: Data digitized for inclusion in usSEABED include granulometric analyses, moment measures, Folk statistics, Inman statistics, and grain size fractions. Not digitized are Trask statistics, and quartile values. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Navigational techniques not recorded in report; latitudes and longitudes given in degrees, tenths, minutes. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Water depth determination technique not noted in report. Water depths given in meters. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The samples were analyzed by the standard sieve and pipette method in the Oceanography Routine Sediment Laboratory at the University of Washington. Mr. Alan T. Ostenson and Mr. Thomas Andrus performed the analyses. The data were reduced by the computer program of Creager, McManus, and Collias (1962) and Collias et al., (1963). Miss Leilonie Gillespie was responsible for the data summary program. For usSEABED, data from Technical Report 57, Special Report 39, and Special Report 40 were concatenated together to reduce data overlaps and present data from the same samples together.
