Figure F8. Photograph of custom stainless steel box with hinged lid and metal plate for hard rock microbiology processing, donated to the JOIDES Resolution by Dr. Katrina Edwards (University of Southern California). Before a hard rock sample was processed for microbiology, the inside of the box was sprayed with ethanol and flame sterilized. The inner metal plate helps provide support when breaking rocks open with a hammer and chisel (also flame sterilized).
