Repository: ECS Latitude: 80.31763 to 80.32577
Ship: Healy Longitude: -156.75098 to -156.85892
Cruise: HLY1202 Water Depth(m): 3800 to 3507
Sample: HLY1202-DR2 Date: 20120918 to 20120918
Device: dredge, rock PI: Larry Mayer
Storage: IGSN: ECS004001

Approximately 75 percent mud, 23 percent Mn pavement, 2 percent outcrop, and 1 percent ice rafted debris (IRD); Problems with wire out monitor, difficult to get accurate wire out readings. Several tension pulls over 9000lbs and abrupt release suggesting bites of outcrop between 3780-3750m; fault block; Arctic Ocean, Amerasia Basin, along edge of Nautilus Basin, av 3800m water depth; greater than 50 degree slope on fault scarp on southern edge of Nautilus Basin.
