The equations for the two data sets are essentially the same, and yield bulk density estimates that are comparable in accuracy to the experimental measurements.completedOceanographyabundanceagebulk densitycarbonatescorrelation coefficientsDeep Sea Drilling Projectdepthequatorial regionmarine environmentoceanographyPacific Oceanpelagic environmentpropertiesregression analysissedimentary petrologysedimentsstatistical analysisEnglishgeoscientificInformation
