Which sediment core still collected calcium carbonate during the PETM?
a.1263C/D
b.1265A
c.1266C
d.1267B
e.1262A

The layer of red clay (when calcium carbonate equals zero) is thickest in core ______.
a.1262A
b.1266C
c.1265A
d.1263C/D

Figure 12B-4 provides pictures of five of the cores collected during the cruise. Each core was taken from a progressively deeper site. The shallowest core was recovered from 2717 m water depth and the deepest core from 4755 m. The core information does not show the entire sediment record for each core, rather it notes specific sections relevant for the examination of the PETM. The depth within the core is notated as meters composite depth (mcd). For example, the top of core 1263C/D is 334 mcd. This section of the core was collected 334 meters below the sediment water interface. Conversely, the top of core 1262A is 138.4 mcd. It was collected 138.4 meters below the sediment water interface. 1263C/D 2717 m water depth 334 1265A 3060 m water depth 1266C 3798 m water depth 1267B 4355 m water depth 305 1262A 4755 m water depth 230- 335 315- 306 139 231- 336- 316- 140- O 50 100 CaCO, (wt%) 307 50 100 CaCO, (wt%) 232- 50 100 CaCO, (wt%) 50 100 CaCO, (wt%) 50 100 CaCO, (wr%) Figure 12B-4.
