During the ice breaker expeditions YMER-80, ARCTIC-96 and LOMROG-07 to the Arctic Ocean several piston and gravity cores were collected. In some of the cores from the Central part of the Lomonosov Ridge a conspicuous, thick, gray homogeneous layer was observed. The color, position and physical prope...
