Technical Report
This report is Volume III of DESCRIPTIONS OF WHOI ROCK DREDGE SAMPLES.
This series represents a major effort to catalog the rock dredge samples in the WHOI Sea Floor Samples collection, and to disseminate this information throughout the scientific community. Volume III contains
sample descriptions and station data for the dredge stations from five cruises during the period September 1978 through December 1980. The material in this and subsequent volumes of rock descriptions
was largely prepared onboard ship by the participating scientists. Volumes I and II are now being prepared by the WHOI Curatorial staff, and describe material in the rock collection obtained prior to 1978. Volume III is being printed prior to volumes I and II because of the excellent documentation of the samples represented in this volume, and because more effort remains in documenting the samples obtained
on some of the older cruises. We expect that volumes I and II will be printed and distributed with in the next year.
Technical Report
This report is Volume I in the series of reports entitled, "DESCRIPTIONS
OF W.H.O.I. ROCK DREDGE SAMPLES". This series represents a major effort to
catalog and prepare initial descriptions for all rock dredge samples in the W.H.O.I.
Sea Floor Samples Collection, and to distribute this information throughout the
scientific community. Volume I contains sample descriptions from approximately
382 dredging stations executed during the period 1960 through 1977. It also presents
a digitized listing of all dredge station data for the entire W.H.O.I.
Dredge Collection through 1980. The data are sorted by Marsden Square and can
serve as a regional index for all rock descriptions included in Volumes I-III.
