Description:
During Leg 24 three drilling sites were occupied in the Gulf of Aden (231, 232, 233), two in the Somali Basin (234, 235), and three in the western Indian Ocean (236, 237, 238). The location of these sites is shown in Figure 1; latitude, water depth, and penetration depth are indicated in Table 1. Figure 2 summarizes the lithologies and stratigraphy of all eight sites cored. In this chapter are included lithologic summaries for each of the sites. The sediments are then discussed in terms of their individual biogenic, terrigenous, volcanogenic, or authigenic components and their sedimentary structures. In a series of synthesis sections the hemipelagic, pelagic, and basal metaliferous sedimentary facies are discussed.
