(Table, page 13-59), Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from Amphitrite Expedition stations

The cores described in this report were taken on AMPHITRITE Expedition in Decenber 1963 - February 1964 by Scripps Institution of Oceanography from, the R/V Argo. A total of 148 cores were recovered and are available at Scripps for sampling and study. The coring sites, all in the tropical central Pacific. The AMPHITRITE cores are here briefly described to identify visually distinct units based on lithology, color, texture, or other characteristic unique to an interval of sediment. For determination of lithology, the slides prepared from samples of the cores were examined microscopically in conjuction with the visual examination.

本报告所述的沉积物岩芯采集于1963年12月至1964年2月期间的安菲特里特（AMPHITRITE）科考航次，由斯克里普斯海洋研究所（Scripps Institution of Oceanography）通过R/V阿尔戈号获取。本次航次共回收148根岩芯，现存放于斯克里普斯海洋研究所，可供采样与研究使用。所有岩芯采样点位均位于热带中太平洋海域。本文简要介绍安菲特里特航次采集的岩芯，旨在依据岩性、颜色、结构以及沉积物层段特有的其他特征，区分视觉上可辨识的地层单元。为确定岩性，研究人员对岩芯样本制备的薄片开展显微镜观测，并结合肉眼视觉检查。
