Sedimentation Rates
Lab
SO461 Lab, Fall 2008
This lab will be done in groups of no more than 3.
You will prepare a Word document to summarize your results.

Directions
- Obtain Depth-Age Models for the following ODP holes: Leg 190 (sites
1173A, 1174B, 1175A) and Leg 182 (1127B, 1128B, 1128C, 1131A) and Leg 165,
site 999 (Combine 999A and 999B).
- Obtain P-wave velocity data from Leg 165, site 999.
- If you cut the data from the browser, you can save it in a TXT file and
import that into Excel.
- Requirements.
- Plot the data for each hole (age versus depth).
- Compute the sedimentation rate for each time interval
- Plot the P-wave velocity versus depth for site 999.
- Discuss your results.
