Large gouge in sediment with accompanying large pile of sediment
2011 August 11
5272 thumbnail picture
Two seemingly divergent tracks leading to the same gouge pattern in the surface sediments

2011 August 15
5281 thumbnail picture
Consolidated sandstone or ash cliff with deep sea fish cruising just below the cliff face.
2011 August 13
5282 thumbnail picture
Consolidated sandstone or volcanic ash cliff
2011 August 13
5283 thumbnail picture
Consolidated sandstone or volcanic ash cliff
2011 August 13
5284 thumbnail picture
Consolidated sandstone or volcanic ash cliff
2011 August 13
5285 thumbnail picture
Consolidated sandstone or volcanic ash cliff. Look closely and some of the bedding can be seen.
2011 August 13
5286 thumbnail picture
Rock rubble, outcrops and sand and mud covering part of the rock material. The sand and mud has been disturbed by biological activity in the lower right quarter of the image.
2011 August 8
5287 thumbnail picture
Partially sediment covered rock outcrop
2011 August 8
5288 thumbnail picture
Sediment covered rock in a scene reminiscent of a winter snowfall. The white specks are in fact marine snow, organic remains of animals living far above in the photic zone and the various creatures that feed on materials sinking to the bottom of th sea.

5289 thumbnail picture
A rock outcrop being covered by sediment.
2011 August 9
5290 thumbnail picture
Angular boulders that have never been subjected to surface erosion being slowly covered by sediment. At least one fairly large white creature is seen on a rock outcrop in the middle right of this image. Can you find it?
2011 August 9
5291 thumbnail picture
Ridge top with strange emaciated appearing coral bush and equally strange rock outcrop (or is it the remains of a large object of biological origin). Either way, no feature of this sort (the vertical object in the center of the image) was seen in any other image of the Cayman expedition.
