Ocean Drilling Program Leg 172 Preliminary Report Northwest Atlantic Sediment Drifts
Ocean Drilling Program Leg 172 drilled 11 sites in the westernmost North Atlantic Ocean: two on the Carolina Slope (Sites 1054 and 1055), seven on the Blake-Bahama Outer Ridge (Sites 1056 to 1062), one on the Bermuda Rise (Site 1063), and one on the Sohm Abyssal Plain (Site 1064). More than 5700 m o...
