Figure 26. Photograph of the sea floor shoiwng mud on the wall of a bathymetric depression.

Figure 26. Photograph of the sea floor at station 999-6 showing an outcrop of gray cohesive mud on the wall of a scour depression. The fine-grained texture and the position of this deposit above the marine unconformity suggest that it records distal deposition on the marine delta (Lewis and DiGiacomo-Cohen, 2000). The field of view of each image is approximately 50 centimeters. Location of photograph shown in figure 27.
