| Lithology Description | The dominant lithologies from 11 m to 109.80 m are mm- to cm-thick, interbedded, dark gray siltstones and fine-grained sandstones, with common, finely-laminated, organic-rich intervals (Figs. 5c, 6). The interval from 109.80 m to the bottom of the hole is composed of medium dark gray, moderately lithified, massive, medium-grained sandstones. Light gray, fine- to medium-grained sandstone partings with sharp, irregular basal surfaces are sporadically present. Moderate to intense soft-sediment defo |
