Sediment grain size analysis data from Mississippi Bight, cruise PTS02, collected April 2016

This dataset represents the grain size analysis performed for five surficial sediment samples collected within the Mississippi Bight in the northern Gulf of Mexico using a four-core multi-corer on board the R/V Point Sur on April 04, 2016. Samples were analyzed at the University of Southern Mississippi Sediment Laboratory using a Malvern 3000 Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzer. The triplicate grain size analyses, as well as the average for each sample, are included. Size classifications include Dx(10), Dx(50), Dx(90), and mode grain sizes, all reported in microns.
