Notes: These FACS logs were generated by Chandra Dreher in June of 2003, using
the handwritten logbooks and personal accounts of the scientist and crew
members.
This cruise 00SCC03 contains vibracore samples BSS00-65 through BSS00-141 of the
227 vibracores collected during this project. For Box Core Sample data collected
