ooze

Sediment of fine texture consisting mainly of organic matter found on the ocean floor at depths greater than 2,000 m/6,600 ft. Several kinds of ooze exist, each named after its constituents.

Siliceous ooze is composed of the silica shells of tiny marine plants (diatoms) and animals (radiolarians). Calcareous ooze is formed from the calcite shells of microscopic animals (foraminifera) and floating algae (coccoliths).
