Core Sampling (DBW)

535 samples for ten investigators were collected from the core during the drilling period (Table 6). Each sample is recorded in a sample register and the position labelled with the investigators initials in the core box. This should enable sample localities to be accurately located even if some disturbance of core occurs during transport or handling.

Samples have been defined by core and sections numbers respectively and measured in centimetres from the top of each section. Sub-bottom depths for each sample are calculated by adding this distance in centimetres to the sub-bottom depth of the section top.
