1 If you notice here, this is Asbestopluma. Basically the critter 



2 that is responsible for these areas clustering that tightly together is 



3 Asbestopluma, that that's sponge pen. It's very characteristic of 



4 Oceanographer Canyon. 



5 In fact, it dominated Oceanographer Canyon, the wall that we went 



6 up, from 650 to 1,300 meters, it was just found--very low concentrations 



7 of this were found in just one little place on Corsair Canyon, but 



8 again, very low concentrations. 



9 Basically, this part of cluster 3 is characteristic of Corsair 



10 Canyon and this whole part of the wall of Corsair Canyon from 800 to 950 



11 meters was dominated by Penatula grandis. Down here, this yellow 



12 cluster here was characteristic of Heezen Canyon, that's that narrow 



13 canyon. 



14 It was characteristic of the axis where you have a star here, 



15 you're talking about an axis area. This was very, very characteristic 



16 of that white Eocene chalk, and that's because Anthomastus agazzisi, 



17 which I showed you before, which is a hard substrate red coral, was very 



18 common here. 



19 In the deeper areas you had the Desmophilum cristigalae and 



20 Pen'mun'cia grandis, which was found in both Heezen Canyon and in 



21 Oceanographer, but not in Corsair, because we did not find very 



22 substantial outcrops in that area. 



23 Just to give you an idea, I tried mapping this out for you. This 



24 basically the wall run of Oceanographer Canyon, heavily dominated by 



25 that sponge pen and then you had another sea pen. This Asbestopluma was 



26 very characteristic of Oceanographer Canyon. You only saw very few of 



27 them up in Corsair Canyon. 



28 When you're looking at Heezen Canyon, you went from Acanilla 



29 arbuscula, which was that bushy coral, into an Anthomastus grandif Ion's, 



30 dominated back into an Acanilla arbuscula and then down into Ophiomusium 



31 lymani, which is that brittle star and them Distocoplum gersilli 



32 [phonetic] and then back into Ophiomusium lymani. 



33 Basically when you got into the axis itself here, you can see the 



34 Anthomastus agazzisi and the Anthomastus agazzisi by the yellow, and
