Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

No estimate made for original data. For inclusion in OFR 00-167, gravel, sand, silt/clay fractions were reported. For usSEABED, data were culled from USGS OFR 00-167 and formatted into usSEABED structure under the original source. Where appropriate, data were tested for completeness using MS Excel.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Data mostly fall within normal ranges for the given parameters; several samples had sand percentages > 100, and/or total GSM <> 100 %.

Completeness_Report:

No estimate made for original data. For usSEABED, all data in OFR 00-167 provided by this report were included.
