Core | long cylindrical cores |
Core Catcher | material recovered from the core catcher of a sedimentary core and which is treated as a separate section from the core. |
Core Half Round | half-cylindrical products of along-axis split of a whole round. |
Core Piece | material occurring between unambiguous [as curated] breaks in recovery. |
Core Quarter Round | quarter-cylindrical products of along-axis split of a half round. |
Core Section | arbitrarily cut segments of a “core”. |
Core Section Half | half-cylindrical products of along-axis split of a section or its component fragments through a selected diameter. |
Core Slab | rectangular prism of material taken from a core where one dimension is significantly shorter than the others. |
Core Sub-Piece | unambiguously mated portion of a larger piece noted for curatorial management of the material. |
Core U-Channel | long rectangular prism of material for continuous measurement. |
Core Whole Round | cylindrical segments of core or core section material. |
CTD | a CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth) cast sample. |
Cuttings | loose, coarse, unconsolidated material suspended in drilling fluid. |
Dredge | a group of rocks collected by dragging a dredge along the seafloor. |
Experimental Specimen | a synthetic material used during an experiment. |
Grab | a sample (sometimes mechanically collected) from a deposit or area, not intended to be representative of the deposit or area. |
Hole | hole cavity and walls surrounding that cavity. |
Individual Sample | a sample that is an individual unit, including rock hand samples, a biological specimen, or a bottle of fluid. |
