Slide No. 8 



This slide (No. 8) is an interesting photograph, a Libby's fruit 

 cocktail can. It has not been there for long since is shows no silt 

 layer or biological encrustations. We arrived at this site expecting 

 that nothing had preceded us. And what we found in almost all the 

 sites we looked at was trash jettisoned from surface ships. 



But what is interesting about this area is that it is practically 

 featureless. There are no biological organisms to speak of, either on 

 the surface or burrowing in the bottom. And the whole area has 

 been swept very smooth by relatively strong currents, suggesting 

 sediment burial and a relatively unstable sediment surface. 



Next slide, please.
