110 meters of core has been recovered (ahead of schedule) with 98% recover over the last 60m! Varied lithology reflecting oscillating lake transgression/regression sequences with abundant tuffs. Density profiles of cores/depth in hole neatly reflect cycling of diatomites in response to eccentricity modulated precession. Currently collecting interesting facies indicating varied terrestrial and potentially lacustrine environmental conditions.
