Description
This file contains location and
carbonate content analysis of samples taken during Cruise No. FERL01052 aboard
the NOAA Ship Ferrel. These samples were taken on East
and West Flower Garden Banks of the Flower Gardens
Bank National Marine Sanctuary between May 28, 2002
and June 3, 2002. The information collected during this
cruise is intended for a preliminary geologic interpretation of
the surficial sediment distribution in order to determine sites
for future sample collection. The interpretations presented
in this Open File Report are subject to change with future
data acquisition.
