Sample ID --- 44-60BS Activity ID --- D-1-85-AR Platform --- Discoverer Sampling equipment --- Boxcore Time --- 19852710036000 Latitude --- 71.10167 Longitude --- -160.82333 Water depth --- 51 m Penetration depth --- 0.21 m Additional comments --- Third of three box cores at this station. First attempt tripped on the way down and had to be released. Description of the surface --- Surface thickness --- 2.5 cm Sediment texture --- Pebbly, coarse sandy mud. Surface clasts: 4 cm dolomite, angular; black 1 cm subrounded. Most abundant living fauna --- Amphipod, tube burrows, bivalve shells. Mya, sponge, brittle star, Serripes, Astarte m., Astarte b. Bivalve shells were orientated concave --- Down. Red granite --- No. Additional comments --- Less tube worms and bioturbation. Description of depositional interval from 3 cm to 8 cm --- Color of unit --- Olive grey. Sediment texture --- Coarse sandy mud with some gravel (semi-consolidated). Sedimentary structures --- Massive. Bedding features --- None. Percent of bioturbation --- 100% Paleontologic observation --- Live worms, brittle star, live Macoma, Golfinga burrow, some thin reinforced burrows. Additional comments --- Much less worm tubes than in 44-58BS. Description of depositional interval from 8 cm to 22 cm --- Color of unit --- Olive grey and olive black. Sediment texture --- Coarse to medium sandy mud. Fines upward. Pebbles: quartzite, dolomite, up to 4 cm, round to subangular. Sedimentary structures --- Massive. Bedding features --- None. Paleontologic observation --- Extensive bioturbation, Macoma shell concave up, large burrow with shell pulled into it, continuation. Additional comments --- Concentrations of mud in sand brought down by bioturbation. Core described by M. Colgan. Core recorded by G. Redden.
