996-11 / Scattered boulders separated by pea- to cobble-sized gravel. Larger cobbles and boulders are overgrown with hydrozoans, algae, and a few anemones. A thin veneer of fine-grained siliciclastic or organic debris covers the rocks. Scattered shells are present; finfish, soft coral, cancer crabs, and red starfish were observed.

996-12 / Flat to undulating sea floor composed of fine-grained sand with scattered small burrows and numerous animal tracks. Starfish, hermit crabs, cancer crabs, shrimp, small patches of amphipod tubes, and a trace of shell debris are present.

996-13 / Flat to undulating sea floor composed of fine-grained sand with scattered shell debris and numerous animal tracks. Starfish, cancer crabs, small burrows, moon snail casings, skate egg casing, and some worm and amphipod tubes are present.

996-14 / Flat to undulating sea floor composed of muddy sand with scattered small and large burrows and numerous animal tracks. Lobster and crab burrows, amphipod tubes, and a few shells are present.

996-15 / Flat to undulating sea floor composed of fine-grained sand with scattered shells and shell debris. Starfish, skate, scallops, small burrows, animal tracks, moon snail casings, and some worm and amphipod tubes are present.

996-16 / Flat to undulating to faintly rippled sea floor composed of sand with scattered shells and shell debris. Starfish and worm and amphipod tubes are present.

996-17 / Flat to faintly rippled gravelly sand with patches of pea- to cobble-sized gravel. Hydrozoans grow on the larger gravel. A thin veneer of fine-grained siliciclastic or organic debris covers the rocks. Patches of sand have worm tubes, animal tracks, and small patches of amphipods tubes. Lobster, scallops, and scattered shells and shell debris are present.

996-18 / Pea- to pebble-sized gravel interspaced with patches of sand. A thin veneer of fine-grained siliciclastic or organic debris commonly covers the gravel. Starfish, animal tracks, and finfish are present.

996-19 / Rippled or megarippled sand with shell debris concentrated in the troughs of the bedforms. Starfish, hermit crabs, and scallop shells are present.

996-20 / Flat to undulating sea floor composed of sand with scattered burrows, shells, and shell debris. Small patches of amphipod tubes are present.

996-21 / Rippled sand and gravelly sand with shell debris concentrated in the troughs of the bedforms and small patches of pea to pebble-sized gravel. Starfish, cancer crabs, burrows, and worm tubes are present.
