    "descript": "Foraminiferal samples were collected from Chincoteague Bay, Newport Bay, and Tom\u2019s Cove as well as the marshes on the back-barrier side of Assateague Island and the Delmarva (Delaware-Maryland-Virginia) mainland by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) researchers from the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center in March, April (14CTB01), and October (14CTB02) 2014. Samples were also collected by the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC) in July 2014 and shipped to the St. Petersburg office for processing. The dataset includes raw foraminiferal and normalized counts for the estuarine grab samples (G), terrestrial surface samples (S), and inner shelf grab samples (G). For further information regarding data collection and sample site coordinates, processing methods, or related datasets, please refer to USGS Data Series 1060 (https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3133\/ds1060), USGS Open-File Report 2015\u20131219 (https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3133\/ofr20151219), and USGS Open-File Report 2015-1169 (https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3133\/ofr20151169). Downloadable data are available as Excel spreadsheets, comma-separated values text files, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee metadata.",
