Vibracores 56V1 and 57V1, south coast

Vibracore 56V1
Massive-appearing (bioturbated) succession of fine- to medium-grained, algal/foraminiferal/coral carbonate sand; abundant algal nodules and coral fragments in lower 20 cm: light olive to yellowish gray (5Y6/1-8/1); poorly sorted; sand size clasts angular to well rounded; composed mainly of a mix of calcareous algae (15.5-26.5%), foraminifera (31.5-38.0%) and coral fragments (10.0-17.0%); common carbonate rock fragments (5.0-6.0%) and Halimeda (3.5-7.0%).
Vibracore 57V1
Massive-appearing (bioturbated) very fine- to medium-grained, foraminiferal/algal/coral carbonate sand: light olive to yellowish gray (5Y6/1-8/1); moderately sorted; minor pebble size clasts in lower 10-15 cm; sand size clasts angular to well rounded; composed mainly of a mix of foraminifera (29.0%), calcareous algae (17.5%) and coral fragments (10.0%); common Halimeda (7.5%) and echinoid fragments (7.0%); abundant unidentifiable skeletal fragments owing to very fine grain size.
