CORES AND SCOOPFISH SAMPLES FROM THE SOUTHERN APPROACH CHANNEL

Abstract

Preliminary laboratory analyses are presented of underway bottom samples and core samples from the southern approach channel to the Chesapeake Bay. The sediment investigation included a size analysis, megascopic logging of the cores, pH measurements, organic analysis, and textural analysis of the sands. The shell accumulation below the sediment is explained by a traction-zone mechanism.
