| Piston corer | This piston corer also had a trigger corer which is a small gravity corer that is attached to the piston coring system. Successful deployment of the system acquires a piston core as well as a trigger core that was collected right next to it. | Geology | HRS1209_CarbonateContent (Bulk organic matter and carbonate content of sediment cores from the Currituck Landslide Complex and upper slope adjacent to Baltimore Canyon collected on USGS Field Activity 2012-007-FA) HRS1209_CoreLocations (Locations of sediment cores from the Currituck Landslide Complex and upper slope adjacent to Baltimore Canyon collected on USGS Field Activity 2012-007-FA) HRS1209_GrainSize (Grain-size analyses of sediment cores from the Currituck Landslide Complex and upper slope adjacent to Baltimore Canyon collected on USGS Field Activity 2012-007-FA) HRS1209_MSCL (Multi-sensor core logger (MSCL) data of sediment cores from the Currituck Landslide Complex and upper slope adjacent to Baltimore Canyon collected on USGS Field Activity 2012-007-FA.
