     Description of the surface ---
          Surface thickness --- 4
          Sediment texture --- Muddy coarse to medium, poorly sorted gravels, angular up 
               to 4 cm mixed lithology.  Quartzite, flat sandstone.
          Sedimentary surface features --- Bioturbation and tube worm extent.
          Most abundant living fauna --- Tube worms, sand reinforced burrows, brittle star 
               with long hairy legs, brittle star, pectineria, ma(___?)
          Bivalve shells were oriented concave --- None.
          Red granite --- No.

     Description of Depositional interval from 4 cm to 9 cm ---
          Color of unit --- Olive grey.
          Sediment texture --- Coarse sand with 2-4 cm clast.  Volcanic and gabbro.  Sand 
               in muddy matrix - gravely sandy mud.
          Sedimentary structures --- Massive - active  bioturbation.  
          Bedding features --- None.
          Percent of bioturbation --- 100%
          Paleontologic observation --- Abundant worm reinforced tube burrows.  Live 
                Macoma and dead.  Astarte montigui.

     Description of depositional interval from 9 cm to 26 cm ---
          Color of unit --- Dark olive grey to black.
          Sediment texture --- Coarse to medium sandy mud.  Mud rich areas localized.
               Dropstone common - larger ones 6 cm across - general f(___?)
          Sedimentary structures --- Massive.
          Bedding features --- None.
          Percent of bioturbation --- 100%
          Paleontologic observation --- Shell concave up.  Pectinaria fragments.  Live fish,
               worms burrows throughout, Nucula, sea cucumber.
          Additional comments --- Bioturbation brought the mud into lower sand.  Core
