Identifier 1978-007-FA
Alternate names CORPUS 56/62
Purpose Determine the thickness and extent of recent aggregate by coring sites located through previous seismic surveys.
Location St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Caribbean Sea, United States, North America, North Atlantic;
Summary The Circe-Dokken vibracoring device was highly successful and obtained excellent quality cores. The device was designed by USGS personnel. Cores: 18 (7.5 cm diameter, 5 m long).
