Sediments of Buzzards Bay acquired in 1963 (MOORE63 shapefile)

A study of bottom sediment samples from Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, provides a basis for establishing their major depositional facies and their relationships to the environmental framework. Texturally the sands tend to occur in shoaling areas of greater tidal-current activity, while the argillaceous sediments are deposited in deeper bathymetric entrapments.

针对美国马萨诸塞州巴泽兹湾（Buzzards Bay）的底沉积物样本开展的研究，为确定该区域的主要沉积相及其与环境框架的关联提供了依据。从结构特征来看，砂质沉积物多分布于潮流活动较强的浅滩化区域，而泥质沉积物则沉积于水深较深的地形截留区。
