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:
<http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html>

Reformatted from Bob Rosenbauer's Gulf of Mexico Post-Oil Spill Sampling Sites file, USGS_GOM_50_sites_lat-long.xls, on October 12, 2010.
Year and day of year are from SAMPLE DATE field, but times are fake and were constructed from the sample id number.
These are shore line sediments actually collected by spatula or in sands directly scooped into a glass jar.
