Summary

This dataset contains high-resolution digital photographs of sediment cores collected from a boring drilled to bedrock near Nantucket Sound in East Falmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Following collection and transportation to a processing facility, the upper half of each core was scraped to form a flat surface along the length of the core. Digital photographs were taken of 8-inch (20-centimeter) sections of each core. The digital images were composited by using Adobe Illustrator to create a photographic log of each core. Abbreviations used in this metadata file: cm, centimeter; mm, millimeter; ft, foot; in., inch. This data release is associated with the following publications: Hull, R.B, Johnson, C.D., Stone, B.D., LeBlanc, [...]
