TRANSCRIPT
Hydrothermal mounds sediments, Leg 70 (plane light). (For a discussion, see Borella et al., this volume.)
1. Iron—manganese oxyhydroxide, Sample 570D-1-1, 14—20 cm. The outermost layer (A) is composed of opaque Fe—Mnoxyhydroxides (todorokite?); the inner orange (B) and yellow zones (C) are composed of iron oxides.
2. Manganese-oxide micronodules in smectite. Sample 506-6-1, 94—96 cm. The opaque Fe—Mn micronodules (A) found atdepth are linked by a network of opaque stringers (B). The matrix material (C) is smectite, most likely nontronite.
3. Opaque manganese micronodules (A) in a smectite matrix (B), Sample 509B-3,CC (4-6 cm). Note the indistinct andjagged boundaries around the isolated micronodules and clots, suggesting that nontronite is replacing the manganeseoxides. The area under (C) may be what is left of a stringer that once connected micronodules and has been replacedby smectite.
4. A brown oxidized surface pelagic sediment, Sample 507D-1-1, 63—64 cm. This section contains foraminifer—nannofossilooze with amorphous Fe—Mn (A) coating and infiltrating fossil foraminifers (C). Opaque manganese micronodules (B)and clots are scattered throughout the thin section.
5. A brown oxidized relict layer, Sample 506D-6-2, 3—5 cm. This thin section is taken from buried surface, brown oxidized,foraminifer—nannofossil ooze. Note the opaque Fe—Mn oxides coating and infilling fossil grains. This is very similar tothe surface oxidized layer.
6. A nontronitic mottle with nontronite infiltrating and replacing foraminifer fragments, Sample 506-6-2, 20—21 cm.Notice that the green nontronite invades and replaces the fossil grains from the exterior and interior surfaces. In manyplaces the green nontronite completely crosscuts the fossil grains.
7. Opaque infilling in granular nontronitic clay immediately beneath manganese-oxide crust layer, Sample 509B-1 -2, 143—144 cm. The fossil foraminifer (A) is partially dissolved and replaced by nontronite. The opaque infilling (B) also con-tains zones of nontronite (C), suggesting that the nontronite may be replacing the opaque infilling.
8. Partially replaced and dissolved foraminifer in hydrothermal sediment. Sample 509B-3,CC (4-6 cm). Note the greennontronite (A) crosscutting the fossil grain. The opaque envelope coating the fossil grain may be the result of boringfungi and bacteria. Scattered throughout the nontronite are patches of opaque material (manganese oxides?).
9. Hydrothermal nontronite, Sample 507D4,CC (5—7 cm). The rounded grains (A) may have been the opaque infillingof a fossil foraminifer^). Most of the original (manganese oxides?) infilling (B) has been replaced by nontronite. A littleof the original test remains in the area around (C). Notice the other isolated nodules and patches of opaque minerals.
10. A radiolarian which has been completely converted to nontronite, Sample 506-6-1, 94—96 cm. The fossil grain (A) hasbeen completely converted to nontronite and is in optical continuity with the remaining nontronite. Isolated globes andpatches of opaque minerals (B) are also present.
11. Hydrothermal smectite (Section 509B-3,CC). Note the growth pattern in the concentric and spherulitic nontronite. Theoriginal nucleus (A) has a relict opaque coating surrounding it. This in turn is surrounded by an overgrowth of nontronite(C), which again is surrounded by an opaque overgrowth or envelope. Areas E and F contain stringers of opaque manga-nese-oxide(?) clots, nodules, or pellets.
12. Multicolored nontronite with opaque (manganese oxides?) areas scattered throughout, Sample 509B-3,CC (4—6 cm).Notice the concentric or spherulitic growth pattern.
13. A nontronite overgrowth (A) on a dark-green fragmental grain (B) in a matrix of nontronite (C), Sample 507D-5-1,100-102 cm.
14. An elliptical fecal pellet which has been completely converted to nontronite, Sample 506C-2-2,130 cm. The lighter non-tronite (A) surrounding the darker nontronitic fecal pellet is apparently replacing and invading the borders (B) of thefecal pellet. The patch within the fecal pellet resembles the outline of a foraminifer fragment, which could have beeningested and incorporated into the fecal pellet before it was converted into nontronite and/or dissolved.
15. Elliptical and circular fecal pellets in hydrothermal sediments, Sample 509B-1-2, 143—144 cm. The lighter nontronite(A) appears to be invading both the elliptical (B) and circular (C) fecal pellets, which are also composed of hydrothermalsmectites.
16. Fire-red hydrothermal smectite in various stages of possible oxidation. Sample 506-6-1, 96 cm. Note the concentricgrowth rings alternating dark and light in areas (A), (B), and (C). This thin section is from a transitional hydrothermallayer (i. e., a boundary between pelagic and hydrothermal sediments).

Between 1872 and 1876, the H.M.S. CHAL-LENGER undertook the world's first majorOceanographic expedition. That expedition greatlyexpanded man's knowledge of the world's oceansand revolutionized his ideas about this planet earth.A century later, over the course of the past decade,another vessel, also named CHALLENGER,has continued to expand man's knowledge of theworld ocean, and has revolutionized his conceptsof how the seafloor and continents were formedand continue to change. The D/V GLOMARCHALLENGER is plying the same waters as itshistoric counterpart, seeking answers to new ques-tions concerning the history of our planet andthe life it supports. The continued advancement
-|—^ -. of knowledge about the fundamental processes-T U r ( 3 W O i Q and dynamics of the earth will lead to a greater
understanding of our planet and more intelligentuse of its resources.
Since 1968, the Deep Sea Drilling Project hasbeen supported by the National Science Foun-dation, primarily through a contract with theUniversity of California which, in turn, subcon-tracts to Global Marine Incorporated for theservices of the drillship D/V GLOMAR CHAL-LENGER. Scripps Institution of Oceanographyis responsible for management of the Universitycontract.
Through contracts with Joint OceanographicInstitutions, Inc. (JOI, Inc.), the National ScienceFoundation supports the scientific advisory struc-ture for the project and funds some pre-drillingsite surveys. Scientific planning is conducted underthe auspices of the Joint Oceanographic Institu-tions for Deep Earth Sampling (JOIDES). TheJOIDES advisory group consists of over 250members who make up 24 committees, panels orworking groups. The members are distinguishedscientists from academic institutions, governmentagencies and private industry in many countries.
In 1975, the International Phase of OceanDrilling (IPOD) began. IPOD member nations,USSR, Federal Republic of Germany, Japan,United Kingdom and France, provide partialsupport of the project. Each member nation takesan active role in the scientific planning of theproject through organization membership inJOIDES. Scientists from these countries alsoparticipate in the field work aboard the D/V
GLOMAR CHALLENGER and post-cruisescientific studies.
The first ocean coring operations for the DeepSea Drilling Project began on August 11, 1968.During the ensuing years of drilling operationsin the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, theGulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, MediterraneanSea, and Antarctic waters, the scientific objec-tives that had been proposed were successfullyaccomplished. Primarily, the age of the oceanbasins and their processes of development weredetermined. The validity of the hypothesis of seafloor spreading was firmly demonstrated and itsdynamics studied. Emphasis was placed on broadreconnaissance and testing the involvement of mid-oceanic ridge systems in the development of theocean basin. Later legs of the CHALLENGERSvoyages concentrated on the nature of the oceaniccrust, the sedimentary history of the passive oceanmargins, sediment dynamics along active oceanmargins and other areas of interest. The accumu-lated results of this project have led to major newinterpretations of the pattern of sedimentationand the physical and chemical characteristicsof the ancient oceans.
As a result of the continued success of the DeepSea Drilling Project, the National Science Foun-dation has presently extended the project throughfiscal year 1982. The latest contract extends theperiod of exploration of the deep ocean floorsof the world by GLOMAR CHALLENGER toa total of over 14 years.
A new dimension of scientific discovery hasbeen added to the project, the detailed study ofpaleoenvironment. With the introduction of the
hydraulic piston corer in 1979, virtually undis-turbed cores of the soft sediment layers can nowbe obtained. This technological advance, togetherwith the new pressure core barrel, has greatlyenhanced the ability of the project to study ancientocean climates as recorded by the micro floraand fauna preserved in the sedimentary layers.
These reports contain the results of initial studiesof the recovered core material and the associatedgeophysical information. The contribution toknowledge has been exceedingly large. Futurestudies of the core material over many years willcontribute much more.
People of our planet, in their daily living andwork activities will benefit directly and/or in-directly from this research. Benefits are derivedfrom the technological advances in drilling, coring,position-keeping and other areas as well as throughthe information being obtained about naturalresources and their origins. As with the originalH.M.S. CHALLENGER Oceanographic expe-dition, this second CHALLENGER expeditionwill have profound effects on scientific under-standing for many years to come.

Recognizing the need in the Oceanographiccommunity for scientific planning of a programto obtain deep sedimentary cores from theocean bottoms, four of the major Oceanograph-ic institutions that had strong interests and pro-grams in the fields of marine geology and geo-physics formed, in May 1964, the Joint Ocean-ographic Institututions for Deep Earth Sam-pling (JOIDES). This group—Lamont-DohertyGeological Observatory; Rosenstiel School ofMarine and Atmospheric Science, University ofMiami; the Scripps Institution of Oceanogra-
Preface Phy, University of California at San Diego; andthe Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution—expressed an interest in undertaking scientificplanning and guidance of the sedimentary drill-ing program. It was the purpose of this groupto foster programs to investigate the sedimentsand rocks beneath the deep oceans by drillingand coring. The membership of the originalgroup was later enlarged, in 1968, when theUniversity of Washington became a memberand again in 1975 when University of HawaiiInstitute of Geophysics, the Oregon State Uni-versity School of Oceanography, the Universityof Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanog-raphy, and Texas A&M University Departmentof Oceanography became members. In accord-ance with international agreements, institutionsof participating nations became members ofJOIDES. Thus, during 1974 to 1976, the Bund-esanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffeof the Federal Republic of Germany, the CentreNational pour 1'Exploitation des Oceans ofFrance, the National Environmental ResearchCouncil of the United Kingdom, the Universityof Tokyo of Japan, and the Academy of Sci-ences of the USSR became JOIDES members.
Through discussions sponsored by theJOIDES organization, with support from theNational Science Foundation, Columbia Uni-versity^ Lamont-Doherty Geological Obser-vatory operated a drilling program in the sum-mer of 1965 on the Blake Plateau region offJacksonville, Florida.
vn
With this success in hand, planning beganfor a more extensive deep sea effort. Thisresulted in the award of a contract by theNational Science Foundation to the Scripps In-stitution of Oceanography, University of Cali-fornia at San Diego for an eighteen-monthdrilling program in the Atlantic and Pacificoceans, termed the Deep Sea Drilling Project(DSDP). Operations at sea began in August1968, using the now-famous drilling vessel, theGlomar Challenger.
The goal of the Deep Sea Drilling Projectis to gather scientific information that will helpdetermine the age and processes of develop-ment of the ocean basins. The primary strategyis to drill deep holes into the ocean floor, rely-ing largely on technology developed by thepetroleum industry.
Through the efforts of the principal or-ganizations and of the panel members, whowere drawn from a large cross section of lead-ing earth scientists and associates, a scientificprogram was developed.
Cores recovered from deep beneath theocean floor provide reference material for amultitude of studies in fields such as biostratig-raphy, physical stratigraphy, and Paleomag-netism that afford a new scope for investigatingthe physical and chemical aspects of sedimentprovenance, transportation, deposition, anddiagenesis. In-hole measurements, as feasible,provide petrophysical data to permit inferenceof lithology of intervals from which no coreswere recovered.
A report, describing the core materials andinformation obtained both at sea and in lab-oratories onshore, is published after the com-pletion of each cruise. These reports are acooperative effort of shipboard and shore-based scientists and are intended primarily to bea compilation of results which, it is hoped, willbe the starting point for many future new andexciting research programs. Preliminary inter-pretations of the data and observations taken atsea are also included.
Core materials and data collected on eachcruise will be made available to qualified scien-tists through the Curator of the Deep Sea Drill-
ing Project, following a Sample DistributionPolicy (p.xvii) approved by the National Sci-ence Foundation.
The advent of Glomar Challenger, with itsdeep-water drilling capability, is exceedinglytimely. It has come when geophysical investiga-tion of the oceans has matured through 20 to 30years of vigorous growth to the point where wehave some knowledge about much of the for-merly unknown oceanic areas of our planet.About one million miles of traverses have beenmade which tell us much about the global pat-tern of gravity, magnetic and thermal anoma-lies, and about the composition, thickness, andstratigraphy of the sedimentary cover of thedeep sea and continental margin. The coveragewith such data has enabled the site selectionpanels to pick choice locations for drilling. Theknowledge gained from each hole can be ex-tended into the surrounding area. Detailed geo-physical surveys were made for most of theselected locations prior to drilling.
The earth sciences have recently maturedfrom an empirical status to one in which sub-stantial theories and hypotheses about majortectonic processes are flourishing. Theoriesabout the origin of magnetic fields and mag-netic reversals, about ocean floor spreading andcontinental drift, and about the thermal historyof our planet have led to specific predictionsthat could be tested best by an enlightened pro-gram of sampling of deep sea and continentalmargin sediments and underlying rocks.
In October 1975, the International Phaseof Ocean Drilling (IPOD) began. This in-ternational interest, and the true participationof both the scientists and governments of anumber of nations, are eloquent testimony tothe importance of the work being done by theDeep Sea Drilling Project.
The members of JOIDES and DSDP andthe scientists from all interested organizationsand nations who have served on the various ad-visory panels are proud to have been of serviceand believe that the information and core ma-terials that have been obtained will be of valueto students of earth sciences and to all human-ity for many years to come.

Deep Sea Drilling ProjectSAMPLE DISTRIBUTION POLICY*
Distribution of Deep Sea Drilling samples for investi-gation will be undertaken in order to (1) provide sup-plementary data to support GLOMAR CHAL-LENGER scientists in achieving the scientific objec-tives of their particular cruise, and in addition toserve as a mechanism for contributions to the InitialReports; (2) provide individual investigators withmaterials that are stored with samples for referenceand comparison purposes.
The National Science Foundation has established aSample Distribution Panel to advise on the distribu-tion of core materials. This panel is chosen in accord-ance with usual Foundation practices, in a mannerthat will assure advice in the various disciplines lead-ing to a complete and adequate study of the cores andtheir contents. Funding for the proposed researchmust be secured separately by the investigator. Itcannot be provided through the Deep Sea DrillingProject,
The Deep Sea Drilling Projects Curator is respon-sible for distributing the samples and controllingtheir quality, as well as preserving and conservingcore material. He also is responsible for maintaininga record of all samples that have been distributed,shipboard and subsequent, indicating the recipientand the nature of the proposed investigation. This in-formation is made available to all investigators ofDSDP materials as well as to other interested re-searchers on request.
The distribution of samples is made directly from oneof the two existing repositories, Lamont-DohertyGeological Observatory and Scripps Institution ofOceanography, by the Curator or his designatedrepresentative.
1. Distribution of Samples for Research Leading toContributions to Initial Reports
Any investigator who wishes to contribute a paper toa given volume of the Initial Reports may write to theChief Scientist, Deep Sea Drilling Project (A-031),Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University ofCalifornia at San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093,U.S.A., requesting samples from a forthcomingcruise. Requests for a specific cruise should be re-ceived by the Chief Scientist two months in advanceof the departure of the cruise in order to allow timefor the review and consideration of all requests andto establish a suitable shipboard sampling program.The request should include a statement of the nature
of the study proposed, size and approximate numberof samples required to complete the study, and anyparticular sampling technique or equipment thatmight be required. The requests will be reviewed bythe Chief Scientist of the Project and the cruiseco-chief scientists; approval will be given in accord-ance with the scientific requirements of the cruise asdetermined by the appropriate JOIDES advisorypanel(s). If approved, the requested samples will betaken, either by the shipboard party if the workloadpermits or by the curatorial staff shortly followingthe return of the cores to the repository. Proposalsmust be of a scope to ensure that samples can beprocessed and a contribution completed in time forpublication in the Initial Reports. Except for rare,specific instances involving ephemeral properties,sampling will not exceed one-quarter of the volumeof core recovered, with no interval being depletedand one-half of all core being retained as an archive.Shipboard sampling shall not exceed approximately100 igneous samples per investigator; in all casesco-chief scientists are requested to keep sampling toa minimum.
The co-chief scientists may elect to have specialstudies of selected core samples made by other inves-tigators. In this event the names of these investigatorsand complete listings of all materials loaned or dis-tributed must be forwarded, if possible prior to thecruise or as soon as possible following the cruise, tothe Chief Scientist through the DSDP Staff ScienceRepresentative for that particular cruise. In suchcases, all requirements of the Sample DistributionPolicy shall also apply.If a dispute arises or if a decision cannot be reachedin the manner prescribed, the NSF Sample Distribu-tion Panel will conduct the final arbitration.Any publication of results other than in the InitialReports within twelve (12) months of the completionof the cruise must be approved and authored by thewhole shipboard party and, where appropriate,shore-based investigators. After twelve months, in-dividual investigators may submit related papers foropen publication provided they have submitted theircontributions to the Initial Reports. A paper too latefor inclusion in the Initial Reports for a specificcruise may not be published elsewhere until publica-tion of that Initial Reports for which it was intended.Notice of submission to other journals and a copy ofthe article should be sent to the DSDP Staff ScienceRepresentative for that leg.

2. Distribution of Samples for Research Leading toPublication Other Than in Initial Reports
A. Researchers intending to request samples forstudies beyond the scope of the Initial Reportsshould first obtain sample request forms fromthe Curator, Deep Sea Drilling Project(A-031), Scripps Institution of Oceanography,University of California at San Diego, LaJolla, California 92093, U.S.A. On the formsthe researcher is requested to specify the quan-tities and intervals of the core required, makea clear statement of the proposed research,state time required to complete and submitresults for publication, and specify the statusof funding and the availability of equipmentand space foreseen for the research.
In order to ensure that all requests for highlydesirable but limited samples can be con-sidered, approval of requests and distributionof samples will not be made prior to 2 monthsafter publication of the Initial Core Descrip-tions (ICD). ICD's are required to be pub-lished within 10 months following each cruise.The only exceptions to this policy will be forspecific instances involving ephemeral proper-ties. Requests for samples can be based on theInitial Core Descriptions, copies of which areon file at various institutions throughout theworld. Copies of original core logs and dataare kept on open file at DSDP and at the Re-pository at Lamont-Doherty Geological Ob-servatory, Palisades, New York. Requests forsamples from researchers in industrial labora-tories will be handled in the same manner asthose from academic organizations, with thesame obligation to publish results promptly.
B. (1) The DSDP Curator is authorized to dis-tribute samples to 50 ml per meter of core. Re-quests for volumes of material in excess of thisamount will be referred to the NSF SampleDistribution Panel for review and approval.Experience has shown that most investigationscan be accomplished with samples 10 ml orsmaller. All investigators are encouraged to beas judicious as possible with regard to samplesize and, especially, frequency within anygiven core interval. The Curator will not auto-matically distribute any parts of the coreswhich appear to be in particularly high de-mand; requests for such parts will be referredto the Sample Distribution Panel for review.Requests for samples from thin layers or im-portant stratigraphic boundaries will also re-quire Panel review.
(2) If investigators wish to study certain prop-erties which may deteriorate prior to the nor-mal availability of the samples, they may re-quest that the normal waiting period not ap-ply. All such requests must be reviewed by theCurator and approved by the NSF SampleDistribution Panel.
C. Samples will not be provided prior to assur-ance that funding for sample studies eitherexists or is not needed. However, neitherformal approval of sample requests nor distri-bution of samples will be made until theappropriate time (Item A). If a sample requestis dependent, either wholly or in part, onproposed funding, the Curator is prepared toprovide to the organization to whom the fund-ing proposal has been submitted any informa-tion on the availability (or potential availabil-ity) of samples that it may request.
D. Investigators receiving samples are respon-sible for:
(1) publishing significant results; contribu-tions shall not be submitted for publicationprior to 12 months following the terminationof the appropriate leg;
(2) acknowledging, in publications, that sam-ples were supplied through the assistance ofthe U.S. National Science Foundation andothers as appropriate;
(3) submitting five (5) copies (for distributionto the Curator's file, the DSDP repositories,the GLOMAR CHALLENGERS library, andthe National Science Foundation) of all re-prints of published results to the Curator,Deep Sea Drilling Project (A-031), Scripps In-stitution of Oceanography, University of Cali-fornia at San Diego, La Jolla, California92093, U.S.A.;
(4) returning, in good condition, the remain-ders of samples after termination of research,if requested by the Curator.
E. Cores are made available at repositories forinvestigators to examine and to specify exactsamples in such instances as may be necessaryfor the scientific purposes of the sampling,subject to the limitations of B (1 and 2) and D,above, with specific permission of the Curatoror his delegate.
F. Shipboard-produced smear slides of sedi-ments and thin sections of indurated sedi-ments, igneous, and metamorphic rocks willbe returned to the appropriate repository atthe end of each cruise or at the publication of
xvπi
the Initial Reports for that cruise. Thesesmear slides and thin sections will form areference collection of the cores stored at eachrepository and may be viewed at the respectiverepositories as an aid in the selection of coresamples.
3. Reference Centers
As a separate and special category, samples will bedistributed for the purpose of establishing up to fivereference centers where paleontologic materials willbe available for reference and comparison purposes.The first of these reference centers has been approvedat Basel, Switzerland.
Data Distribution Policy
Data gathered on board D/V Glomar Challengerand in DSDP shore laboratories are available to allresearchers 12 months after the completion of eachcruise. The files are part of a coordinated computerdatabase, fully searchable and coordinated to otherfiles. Data sets representing a variety of geologic en-vironments can be arranged for researchers who maywish to manipulate the database directly.
Most data requests are filled free of charge, exceptif they are unusually large or complex and directcosts exceed $50.
When data are used for publication, the NationalScience Foundation must be acknowledged andDSDP provided with five reprints for inclusion in theDSDP index of publications and investigations. Re-quests for data should be submitted to:
Data Manager, Deep Sea Drilling ProjectScripps Institution of Oceanography (A-031)University of California, San DiegoLa Jolla, California 92093
Telephone: (714) 452-3526Cable Address: SIOCEAN
I. The database includes files generally availableboth in digital form on magnetic tape and asmicrofilm copies of the original observationforms.
A. Geophysical data include underway bathym-etry, magnetics, and sub-bottom profiles;bathymetry data exist both as 12-kHz and3.5-kHz records. Underway data are pro-cessed by DSDP and the Geological DataCenter at Scripps Institution of Oceanography(SIO). Seismic records are available inmicrofilm and photographic prints.
B. Physical property data obtained on boardGlomar Challenger include:
Analytical water content, porosity, anddensity

F. Ancillary files include:Site positionsSub-bottom depths of coresMaster Guide File (a searchable core data
summary file)
II. Additional publications, aids to research, areperiodically updated and distributed to libraries.Single copies, at no charge, are distributed onmicrofiche at 48X magnification, except for theData Datas (C, opposite), which are at 24X. Theyinclude:
A. Guides to DSDP Core Materials, a series ofprinted summaries containing maxima, min-ima, and typical values for selected observa-tions. Guides are available for each of the
xix
major ocean basins and for Phases I, II, andIII of the drilling program. The source datasummary file is also available.
B. Index to Initial Reports and SubsequentPublications and Investigations is a compre-hensive key word index to chapters of the Ini-tial Reports and to papers and investigationsin progress which cite DSDP samples or data.The Index and its annotated bibliographyserve to inform researchers of other inves-tigators working on similar projects. Eachpaper is assigned key words for field of study,material, geographic area, and geologic age.A complete citation, including the assignedkey words, is printed in the bibliography. Keywords are permuted to form a comprehensivecross-index to the author reference list.
C. Data Data, a series of informal memorandaproviding a quick reference to accessible data,is available on microfiche. Also available is asite position map to assist researchers in large-area studies. (Site positions are plotted on abathymetry map compiled by the SIOGeologic Data Center.)
D. Data Retrieval and Application ComputerPrograms to perform data management andretrieval functions and a set of programsdesigned to provide special graphic displaysof data are available; they may be of limiteduse because of differences in computer hard-ware. All current programs are written inALGOL for a Burroughs 7800 computer sys-tem. Software inquiries may be addressed tothe Data Manager.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The successful program of mounds drilling on Leg 70 obvi-ously depended entirely on the expertise provided by the offi-cers and crew of the D/V Glomar Challenger, operated byGlobal Marine, Inc. under contract to the University of Cali-fornia. The nearly flawless operation of the hydraulic pistoncorer, developed at the Deep Sea Drilling Project, was alsocrucial to our success. We thank all of the members of theDeep Sea Drilling Project shipboard technical staff for theirdedication to the achievement of our scientific aims. Mr.Robert Knapp, DSDP Operations Manager for Leg 70, pro-vided the valuable expertise required for the smooth function-ing of a complex operation.
We are grateful to James Hall and the JOIDES OceanCruise Panel for initiating and sponsoring this program.
