Recherches sur les sédiments de la mer du Nord et de la mer d'Irlande

The sediments which are dealt with in this work are unevenly distributed throughout the North Sea and the Irish Sea. In the North Sea, four areas have been studied: they are: the area off Möre Romsdal, the Tanners Hill Ground area, the Devil's Hole area and the Outer Silver Pit area (fig. 1).Detailed charts have been drawn for each of these areas. The position of each sample point has been marked down. However, some samples have not been indicated. Their distance from the represented area would have lead to local charts of too big dimensions or too small scales. In that last event, the interesting areas would not have been represented with enough accuracy.The exact position of each sample, in longitude and latitude, as well as its depth, has been recorded in a table at the beginning of the study of each area.In the Irish Sea, the sample points are more evenly distributed. They mostly focus on the area located south and east of the Isle of Man.
