 Methodology

  Notes:
  1..Histidine and serine were not always resolved under the conditions used.
     Where His is not reported (nd), the Mole% Ser includes both His and Ser.
  2..Negative depth_core values indicate the flocculent material just above the
     top of core.
  3..Zeros reflect concentrations or Mole% values that are below detection
    levels.
