Kenya drill core is on its way to Minneapolis! The final tally was Baringo 210.3m of core in ~228m drilled (226m according to down hole logs), so 94.5% recovery West Turkana. 200.8m of core in ~216m drilled (93.3% recovery) not including a recored interval from 190-199m. We will be having a conference call of the field team leaders for all sites, Dennis, Anders and Jochem to do an evaluation of what went right in Kenya, what the problems were and how we fix them for upcoming sites. Notes from this will be posted on the website. Keep an eye out for upcoming feature article on paleoclimate and human evolution that will be appearing in Science in August. It will feature a discussion of HSPDP!
