A collection of well cuttings from the State of Indiana with a few from surrounding states. The well cuttings are filed in small envelopes identified with pertinent information and are stored in boxes in the basement of the Indiana Geological Survey. Each box has a file number which links it to other types of information. In addition to the archived cuttings, 80% of the cuttings are mounted on lithologic strip logs. The cuttings are glued on the strip log according to their correct depth. This gives the user the option to look at either the strip log or the actual well cuttings. There are 13,455 archived wells in the Indiana Geological Survey rock cuttings collection. This collection takes up approximately 15,000...
The Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) has a collection of approximately 40,000 processed grain-size sediment samples. These samples are kept in individual packets labeled with an identifier and are stored in about 700 core boxes. This collection of physical sediment samples was derived from sieve analysis tests performed on drill-cutting samples collected between 1967 and 1997. The collection is broken down into original samples as well as grain sizes including less than 2mm, sand, granules, and pebbles.

A lithologic strip log is a long paper board strip that is representative of the well cuttings produced by drilling. This is done by gluing the cuttings at the correct depth on the strip log. The logs are then filed in cabinets by section, township, and range. This extensive collection is unique to the Indiana Geological Survey. The strip can be easily viewed under the microscope. The well cuttings can be pulled to get a better look if greater detail is needed.
