(Table 1) Consolidation characteristics and physical properties for DSDP Legs 56-57 Holes

Consolidation characteristics of marine sediments have been determined for several different geologic provinces (cf. Hamilton, 1959, 1964; Keller and Bennett, 1973; Trabant, 1977; and Shephard et al., 1978). These data have been used to enhance interpretation of sediment processes; to develop density, porosity, permeability, and depth relationships; to predict excess pore water pressures; as well as to determine the amount of sediment originally present before consolidation.
