Figure 42. Bottom photographs showing a comparison of the rippled gravelly sand in a scour depression at station BIS85 with the adjacent undulating, muddy sand outside the scour depression at the same station. Sediments within scour depressions are typically coarser than those on the surrounding sea floor in Block Island Sound. Station location is shown in figures 14 and 37. |
