During the SEDIFAN 1 cruise we surveyed the bathymetry and the acoustic properties of the surface sediment of the Celtic Deep Sea Fan. We also collected Kullenberg cores in order to study recent sedimentary processes. From the bathymetry survey it is relatively easy to recognize the main areas of modern fan. The upper fan included a large sedimentary ridge which constitutes the right levee of the prominent meandering Whittard valley. After its confluence with the Shamrock valley the course of the Whittard valley is abruptly deflected to the south. At a short distance to the south the valley divides into two upper-fan channels, the Celtic channel to the west being the deeper one. This point constitutes the centre of a radiating pattern which is developed on... |

The clay fraction of sediments drilled at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) sites 1071 and 1072 is composed of variable proportions of chlorite, illite, smectite. kaolinite, vermiculite and mixed-layers such as illite/vermiculite (I/V) and chlorite/vermiculite (C/V). Miocene and Pliocene climates allowed formation of vermiculite and kaolinite. Pleistocene clay sedimentation was characterized by abundant chlorite and illite resulting from increasing erosion of the crystalline rocks outcropping in northern areas (e.g. Canadian Shield) developed under glacial climate. The clay minerals identified on the shelf are relatively similar to those deposited on the New Jersey continental slope and rise, and a similar trend in the composition of clay assemblages is... |
