Sharp in September/October of 2012. These cores were analyzed for evidence of seafloor mass transport processes, with an emphasis on constraining the age and shallow stratigraphy of the landslide complex. Sedimentological and geotechnical characterization of the cores was carried out through whole core imaging and description, followed by analysis of discrete samples at the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center's Sediment Analysis Laboratory and other facilities, including grain-size, CaCO3 content, mineral composition, and bulk index properties (e.g., undrained shear strength and water content), micropaleontologic separations, and geochronology. This data release contains the results of these core descriptions and results of the laboratory analyses. Purpose: The data provides a comprehensive understanding of the nature and properties of the sediments found in this geographic location. Radiographs highlight sedimentary structures, especially bioturbation, mass transport deposit morphology, and the fine tails of turbidites. Supplemental_Information: Cores were collected on the Hugh R. Sharp cruise HRS1209 from September 28, 2012 to October 4, 2012, and currently reside in the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center's core repository.

Logical_Consistency_Report: X-ray images are generally consistent with expected results. Completeness_Report: Of the 24 cores collected during the Hugh R. Sharp HRS1209 cruise, 10 cores were imaged using radiography. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Each core was cut into sections on the ship after collection.

X-radiograph images were saved as JPG files and were organized in folders by core. Each photo should overlap on each side with the preceding and succeeding interval by a few centimeters. The files were named for the core (for example, HRS1209-5PC) then the section (1, 2, or 3) and then the frame interval (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5). The section numbers increase from bottom of the core to top of the core, while the interval numbers increase from top of the section to bottom of the section. Folders for cores HRS1209-6PC, HRS1209-7PC, HRS1209-12PC, HRS1209-14PC also contain cropped JPG image files, JPG image files stitched together, and PSD files used to create the stitched images.
