Using X-ray diffraction, twelve sediment samples from the Vøring Plateau, Norwegian Sea (1-4° E, 67-68° N) have been analyzed for their clay mineral constituents and their relative clay mineral abundances. The results of the analysis indicate that the relative clay abundances average 10.3% smectite,...
