Comments I am researching possible methods for dating iceberg scour marks located in 80-200m water depth on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Eastern Canada, in support for an upcoming research cruise this summer. During scouring, previously buried material is freshly exposed at the base of the scour and on the scour berms. The Grand Bank is largely a non-depositional environment to 110m water depth although older scours in deeper water are buried beneath a thin sandy veneer.
Secondary objectives are to date scours in deeper water which are buried beneath a fine sand veneer.
Dating of these scours is very problematic.
