Archive of Geosample Data and Information from the University of Texas at Austin (UT) Institute of Geophysics

browse graphicimage of sea floor sample locations
Metadata describing piston cores curated by Institute of Geophysics of the University of Texas at Austin (UT) collected from 1976 to 1978 were coded and contributed by UT to the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) database. Descriptions are for 204 piston cores collected in the Gulf of Mexico, during 390 cruises of the Gus III, the Longhorn, and the Ida Green. These samples are no longer available for distribution/study, but are well described in the IMLGS.

Data Update Frequency Not planned - Data are no longer received from the University of Texas at Austin (UT) for the IMLGS database.
Supplemental Information
UT samples are no longer available for loan. In 1984 after a hurricane damaged the UTIG core locker, the UT core collection was transferred to the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) repository in College Station. In 1997, the UT cores were de-accessioned for lack of space. Only geosamples collected prior to 1979 curated by the University of Texas at Austin (UT) sample repository were described in the IMLGS.
Purpose The original purpose of adding information describing the UT samples to the IMLGS was to promote new research on existing samples. The samples are no longer available for loan.
