This is a collection of over 14,000 physical sediment samples that accompany the gamma-ray logs. There are an estimated 2168 sample sets. The samples are stored in whirl bags labeled with the unique gamma-ray log number and depth of sample. The bags are stored in core boxes labeled with the unique gamma-ray number and range of depth. The number of samples per log primarily depends on the depth of the log. Due to poor original storage methods many samples were lost, therefore there are close to 800 gamma-ray logs without available physical samples.
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.
