Processed to 5376 feet, extremely coherent rock

Today we boxed up another 100 ft of rock core, to a depth of 5376 ft.  Below is a picture of the rock that was drilled last night, which we processed this morning.  When fractures are this rare, the rock generally can be drilled more easily to produce full runs and it is also easier to process and interpret.

Note: Each tray is 6 ft in length, with the top ends painted.  There are pieces of circular foam at each end and a cover on each tray during transport.  Wooden blocks with the bottom depth of each run written on them are placed at the end of each run.  A full run is 10 feet in length.  With the foam and wood blocks and fractured rock, one run nearly or completely fills two trays.
