    • Sediments of Buzzards Bay acquired in 1963 (MOORE63 shapefile)

    Metadata Updated: January 22, 2026

    A study of bottom sediment samples from Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, provides a basis for establishing their major depositional facies and their relationships to the environmental framework. Texturally the sands tend to occur in shoaling areas of greater tidal-current activity, while the argillaceous sediments are deposited in deeper bathymetric entrapments.
