PLATE 28 



Figs. A-F. — Station 43, upper rise, Nyckel Ridge south of submarine valley, 1190-1215 



fms. 



A, Broad outcrop of consolidated sediment veneered by silt (see cloud). Brittle 

 star indicates scale. 



B-D, Rippled sand (current towards NW) carrying patches of dark pebbles, cob- 

 bles, and occasional larger angular blocks of rock, similar to that in Plate 27. 

 Blocks appear to have broken in situ (arrow in B). White circular objects in 

 left of C and D may be regular sea urchins; ophiuroid brittle stars in C and D. 



E&F, Sandy gravel bottom veneered by silt (cloud in F) with occasional cobbles. 

 Pebbles appear to be relatively well-sorted suggesting current activity. Brittle 

 star in top of E partially covered by cobble. White specks in F may be sea 

 urchins.
