Abstract: | Modern sand and silty sand cover the inner shelf, with silty sand accumulating off the mouth of the Clutha River. Palimpsest sediment dominated by shell debris and polymodal detrital gravel and sand covers the outer shelf. The detrital sediment is largely or wholly of Clutha River origin. |
