Sample report

Report includes detailed information about samples taken for testing: location/depth, type/form factor, test, request number, and database identifier.

Data File format

    Exp: expedition number
    Site: site number
    Hole: hole number
    Core: core number
    Type: coring tool used to recover the core (typical types are F, H, R, X).
    Sect: section number
    A/W: archive (A) or working (W) section half.
    Top offset in section (cm): offset of sample from the top of its ancestor parent section or section half. 
    Bottom offset in section (cm): offset of sample from the bottom of its ancestor parent section or section half.
    Top offset in parent (cm): offset of sample from the top of its ancestor parent sample. Not meaningful for liquids, powders, squeeze-cakes, or other process specific transforms of sample material. For sections, the parent referenced is the core. For cores, the parent referenced is the hole. Holes are defined with top offset zero.
    Bottom offset in parent (cm): offset of sample from the bottom of its ancestor parent sample. Not meaningful for liquids, powders, squeeze-cakes, or other process specific transforms of sample material. For sections, the parent referenced is the core. For cores, the parent referenced is the hole. Holes are defined with top offset zero.
    Top depth CSF-A (m): bottom edge of sample indexed to depth below seafloor on CSF-A scale.
    Bottom depth CSF-A (m): bottom edge of sample indexed to a depth below seafloor via the CSF-A scale.
    Top depth [other] (m): location of the upper edge of the sample expressed relative to the top of the hole. The location is presented in a scale selected by the science party or the report user.
    Bottom depth [other] (m): location of the lower edge of the sample expressed relative to the top of the hole. The location is presented in a scale selected by the science party or the report user.
    Length (cm): sample length.
    Volume (cm^3): sample volume.
    Sample type: abbreviation for curatorial classifications (e.g., hole, core, section) or general physical form-factor (liquid, powder, thin section, whole round, etc.).
    Test: curatorial codes indicating analytical methods applied to sample.
    Request code: short name or mnemonic used to note a sample taken in fulfillment of a sample request.
    Request number: the unique identifier for a specific sample request.
    Sample name: short name that may be specified for a sample.
    Text ID: automatically generated unique database identifier for a sample.
    Date sample logged: date and time sample logged into the database.
    Sample entered by: person who logged the sample into the database.
    Location: Indicates whether samples were taken on the ship (JR) or at the Gulf Coast Location (GCR).
    Comments: additional notes about the sample, if any.
    Label identifier: automatically generated, human readable name for a sample that is printed on labels. This name is not guaranteed unique across all samples.
