sedimentary abundance (out of order, b4 padang)

greetings

whiel some of my blogs have been sent out in inverse ordre```, this one follows
the previous ones (another attempt to state the obvious, which i am good at).
(actually, this one originally went out on 5/18, today is 5/24... i think i have
the blog edress right now) so, i have really screwed up the chronology of my
blog, at least it does not affect the chronostratigraphy at all. (this email was
sent before padang

we have had good luck for cores along the 2005 rupture area. we placed cores
from sites ranging 250km from each other and have found a surprising
rese`mblance between them. the upper 1/2 meter almost looks exactly alike in
each core. this is good.

we are now south of the equator and soon neptune will punish us all for having
angered him (according to his scribe, davey jones). tomorrow we can expect to
pay tribute to him with various creative actions (much like hazing, but i hope
not too much like hazing). all who are new to equator crossings are called wogs
(short for polly wogs). more on this later.

the ships web site: ship.rrevelle.sio.ucsd.edu
there is a link to video web cams there. more sleep when the cruise is over.
getting about 6 hrs, often split up into segments. i am busy keeping the ship
going (goldfinger and myself are the two responsible to find core sites,
although everyone wants to give their advice, usually when we are in the middle
of doing something else.

positively jay, love
