PLATE 3 



Figs. A-F. — Station 8, canyon head, east wall, 110-128 fms. 



A, Sandy silt; interference ripple marks with dominant crest orientation of 

 155°-335° (old ripples); partially buried shell. 



B, Bottom similar to A; flat fish (arrow 1) and depression (arrow 2), possibly 

 formed by fish. The steep margin of depression indicates cohesiveness of the 

 bottom sediment. 



C, Bottom similar to above; skate and two other fish; canceroid crab in center of 

 photo. 



D, Close-up of bottom showing cell-like, interference ripple pattern, also possible 

 "fish-nest" depression (arrow) and small tracks made by crabs.

 canceroid crab and partially obscured flat fish (arrow) in E, and fish in F.
