Core composite images 

A digital composite image (PNG) is made for each core comprising core sections scanned using a line-scan camera. The composite layout is equivalent to traditional core table photos. Top left is top of core; color and meter rule references are included.

Data File format

	Exp: expedition number
	Site: site number
	Hole: hole number
	Core: core number
	Type: type indicates the coring tool used to recover the core (typical types are F, H, R, X).
	Top depth CSF-A (m): location of the upper edge of the section expressed relative to the top of the hole.
	Bottom depth CSF-A (m): location of the lower edge of the section expressed relative to the top of the hole.
	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.
	Image filename: filename of composite core image.
	Timestamp (UTC): point in time at which an observation or set of observations were made.
	Text ID: automatically generated unique database identifier for a sample, visible on printed labels.
	Test No: unique number associated with the instrument measurement steps that produced these data. 
	Sample comments: observations recorded about the sample itself.
	Test comments: observations about a measurement or the measurement process; some measurement observations may be under Result comments.
	Result comments: observations about a measurement or the measurement process; some measurement observations may be under Test Comments.
