Data report: sedimentary columns with facies and bedding for Units II–IV at IODP Site U1438: Expedition 351

Abstract

This report contains a database of detailed section-, core-, and hole-scaled stratigraphic columns constructed from shipboard and shore-based observations of core recovered during International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 351 at Site U1438. The section- and core-level stratigraphic columns include bedding and facies designations intended for use in postexpedition studies, including analyses of depositional processes and sediment provenance, as well as contexts for geochemical, isotopic, and geochronological analyses. We also present a stratigraphic synthesis column reflecting bedding and facies variation at the site.
