Quantitative X-ray Diffraction Mineralogy of Los Angeles Basin Core Samples

This report contains X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of mineralogy for 81
sediment samples from cores taken from three drill holes in the Los Angeles
Basin in 2000-2001. We analyzed 26 samples from Pier F core, 29 from Pier C
core, and 26 from the Webster core. These three sites provide an
offshore-onshore record across the Southern California coastal zone. This
report is designed to be a data repository; these data will be used in further
studies, including geochemical modeling as part of the CABRILLO project.
Summary tables quantify the major mineral groups, whereas detailed mineralogy
is presented in three appendices. The rationale, methodology, and techniques
are described in the following paper.
