Figure AF1. Offshore core flow. (1) If no core catcher is collected, a 20 cm3 plug sample will be taken from the base of the lower end of a section every 6 m for shipboard sedimentologic description and sampled for preliminary shore-based studies. (2) Depending on the length of the core catcher, and only if there is inadequate material in the working half and a sample is deemed necessary by the Co-Chief, additional material from the archive half of the core catcher can be used for sampling for shipboard lithological description and preliminary shore-based studies. (3) Samples will be taken from core catchers for shore-based studies: preliminary mineralogy, 87Sr/86Sr dating of shell fragments, and dinocyst stratigraphy. These results will be supplied to the Science Party in advance of the Onshore Science Party in Bremen. MSCL = multisensor core logger.
