Table 2. Grain size analysis determined the sedimentary composition at 11 locations with one replicate (MSMS_0148). Samples were dominated by mud although the sand-size fraction was often quite significant. See Figure 12 and Figure 13 for graphs of these data. Sediment class is based on Folk (1980). Results are from Jacobacci (2012).
