Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from DSDP Site 107, Leg 11 (Core 105-7-CC)

In view of the fact that thick sections of Neocomian and Jurassic limestone were found in the region off the Bahama Islands (Holes 99A, 100 and 101) a hole was selected for drilling between New York and Bermuda at a position where knowledge might be gained about the structure and composition of the lower continental rise hills. In addition, such a hole would ascertain the age of the crust.
