| Abstract: | Large talus blocks litter the flat floor of Oceanographer Canyon at a depth of 1460 meters; they indicate down-axis mass transport of floor sediment at an unknown time and rate. From 1460 to 1310 meters the sidewall is covered by unconsolidated sediment lying at 35 degrees to 40 degrees from the horizontal. An outcrop of Pleistocene or younger sediment at 1460 meters is probably a remnant of a former fill. |
