HOLLISTER69: Sediments on the Shelf South of Martha's Vineyard

Lawrence J. Poppe

Abstract

An unusual accumulation of incohesive fine-grained sediment (silt and clay) occurs in the midst of the sand-covered continental shelf south of artha's Vineyard. This 4000 square mile deposit of soft material is assumed to overlie relict Pleistocene sands. The objective of this study was to determine the distribution, thickness, and engineering properties of this fine grained deposit.
