Physical Properties of Long Island Sound Sediment Cores


Image of Core A2C1.

Core A2C1 was taken on June 18, 1996 in 11 meters of water. The core measured 45 cm in length, was x-rayed on June 26, 1996 and was sub- sampled on May 12, 1997 at 0.5 cm intervals down the whole core. Features noted are seen in the x-ray and water content profiles above and include mottled sediment, rocks, and some biological features, such as shell layers. No textural analysis is intended for this core. Note: The peakiness of the water content profile from 4 - 12 cm may be due, in part, to minor analytical errors in the drying process.
