core

Notes -

(From Sept. 9, 1994 USGS bulletin)  Randy Koski reports that during the

first three days of their cruise aboard the LANEY CHOUEST (with Bohannon, Gray,

Reid, Ross, Smith, and Tormanen) deployments of the U.S. Navy's advanced

tethered vehicle (ATV) and submersible DSV TURTLE have yielded 45 hours of

videotape and about 25 rock samples from the south flank and crest of Blanco

Ridge. Accumulations of volcanic rock fragments and evidence for rock

avalanches on the Ridge flanks are consistent with the record of seismicity

along this transform fault zone.  This collaborative program with NOAA and the

NAVY will continue through September 7, with final operations in the east

Blanco Depression.

Similar information is available for thousands
of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.

If known, available are Activity-specific
navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry,
seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and
equipment information; as well as summary
overviews, crew lists, and information
about analog materials.

If available, access to physical samples is
described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy" at:
