PLATE 20 



Figs. A-F. — Station 34, mid-slope, on Nyckel Ridge south of canyon, 610-625 fms. 

 A-F, Muddy, largely clayey, bottom (see sediment clouds in A, B, and F). Granular 

 texture, well developed in A, D, and E, may be produced by faecal pellets or 

 muddy clasts. Large steep-sided depressions of unknown origin in lower part of 

 E. Subcircular shallow depressions ("fish-nest" type) are common (see arrow 

 in D) and probably produced by benthic flat fish (see C and D). Sea-spider 

 (Colossendeis sp.) present (arrow 2) in D. Large dark circular object in F 

 may be a sea urchin. Note also probable Macrourid fish in F.
