Summary
|
|
5 good cores were collected at station 3. One of these colleced for
|
|
Linda Kalnejais for her erosion experiment. Only two cores were collected at
|
|
station 2 because of a malfunction of the bottom closure mechanism. It did not
|
|
snap into place immediately after pullout, allowing the sand to fall out of the
|
|
core barrel.
