Summary

This data release contains photographs and photomicrographs from drill cores and cuttings of pre-Middle Jurassic basement rocks that are buried beneath Coastal Plain sedimentary deposits in Florida. These samples provide rare insights into deeply buried rocks that have no surface exposures and no known exposed correlates. These images were acquired to support the characterization, discrimination, and correlation of map units comprising Florida’s basement infrastructure (Deasy and others, 2024a). These are the original images. Annotated images with additional comments are available in the companion Data Report (Deasy and others, 2024b). Semi-quantitative mineral modes of many basement rocks are presented in a companion data release [...]

Purpose

Basement terranes and basins buried beneath sediments of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains are among the last frontiers of regional geology in the United States. Photographs and photomicrographs of drill cores and cuttings of rocks from pre-Middle Jurassic basement buried beneath the Coastal Plain in Florida were acquired to support subsurface geologic mapping and topical studies as in geochronology, geochemistry, petrology, and tectonics.
