Summary
Expedition 384 was an engineering testing expedition in the North Atlantic which visited 2 sites, U1554 and U1555. At Site U1554, 3 APC holes were cored to approximately 70 mbsf and 4th hole was drilled down to approximately 14 mbsf and one core was collected from approximately 14 mbsf to 23 mbsf. These 4 holes were used to test the magnetic orientation tools (MOT). 3 Icefield MI-5 and 1 Flexit tool were tested while coring these holes. In general, the MOT’s gave good results with the exception of one Icefield tool which was on average 180° off from the expected declination at the site. Cores recovered at site U1554 consisted of sediment which provided an excellent record of normal polarity.
