Figure AF1. Offshore core flow. (1) If no core catcher is collected, a sample from the lower end of the section will be taken for shipboard lithological and macropaleontological analysis. If the lower end of the section is a massive coral, no sample will be taken. (2) Depending on the length of the core catcher, 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) If space allows, a separate container from Bluestone will be designated for lithological description work to provide protection for the cores and scientists working on them. If this is not possible, space will be made available in an ESO/Bremen container. This will be decided at mobilization.
