Abstract

From the Abstract: Sediment samples from Timbalier Bay, Louisiana, and the adjacent offshore area were analyzed for gain size distribution, percenteage of organic carbon, percentage of carbonate, and selected elements…The results of this study indicate that no significant sedimentary alterations have occurred in Timbalier Bay or in the adjacent offshore area as a result of drilling activities.”
