SEABED SAMPLING

The sea bottom samples were taken by GIN-RAS and ISMAR cylindrical dredges, (Fig.11). Rocks collected by dredging were described on board, logged, sub-sampled and stored away as archive and working samples. Some rocks were cut and polished for further analyses (thin-sections, microscopic observations, etc.).
