Florence Bascom Geoscience Center Core Collection

This is an inventory of subset of sediment cores (primarily) and rock cores (few) that are managed by the USGS Florence Bascom Geoscience Center. These are the dry-storage cores. Rerigerated or wet-storage cores will be added or be listed in separate metadata at a future date. The majority of core came to the Science Center by default through merging of USGS organizations that no longer exist. Often little data was preserved. A minority of the cores represent current work of the Science Center
