| Abstract: | Although theres has been considerable interest in the consolidation of marine carbonate sediments, there has been little actual testing of carbonates. For our study, 34 sediment samples from the Gulf of Mexico, Florida Bay and the Bahama Banks were tested in an Anteus back pressure consolidometer to determine their consolidation characteristics. Eleven sediment samples were less than 50% calcium carbonate. Of the samples containing more than 70% carbonate, 12 were of Holocene age, deposited since Wisconsin glaciation, and 11 samples from the continental slope west of Florida were of Pleistocene- Pliocene age. | |
