We performed 18 X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements on sediment samples acquired at Holes H002 (6 samples) and H005 (12 samples) during the UT-GOM2-1 Expedition in Green Canyon Block 955, in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Results indicate a predominance of quartz, with significant proportions of alkali feldspar and carbonate, and minor amounts of amphibole, micas, and clays.
