Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology, Sampling: Biology, Sonar: Single Beam, Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sonar: Sidescan
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Delineation of placer heavy minerals in a number of study areas. Follow-up sampling of areas previously sampled.
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Fort Lauderdale, FL
End Port/Location: Alexandria, VA
Start Date: 1985-06-03
End Date: 1985-06-28
Equipment Used: Alpine Vibracorer, Box corer, Grab sampler, Echosounder, Sidescan sonar, Loran-C, Magnavox satellite positioning system
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: A total of 60 vibracores and 72 grab samples were acquired. The majority of the grab samples were processed at sea using the three-turn spiral to concentrate the heavy minerals. Selected grab samples were examined microscopically to determine the major constituents of the heavy-mineral assemblages present.
