The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) Samples Repository is a partner in the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) database. The Curator sends data and information related to the SPCMSC marine geological sample collection to NCEI to increase their discoverability via the IMLGS. Selected data, documents, and images related to the collection are also archived at NCEI and discoverable via the IMLGS, but the USGS is the authoritative source for all data and information related to USGS geological samples.

Lineage information for:dataset
Lineage Statement	Data are received by NCEI on an intermittent basis from the repository. Incoming data are checked for adherence to controlled vocabularies, illegal data types in numeric fields, and out of range latitudes/longitudes. NCEI adds IGSNs/links to related resources, where known, and may perform cursory visual inspection of data for reasonableness, asking the originator for guidance on discrepancies. NCEI informs the originator upon ingest of data to the IMLGS database, after which the originator provides one final quality control using the IMLGS map viewer. Data may also be updated/corrected at any time at the originator's request.
