A drill core sample for microbiology.

Today, drilling proceeded well until quite recently - during the core run to 1295 m something went wrong and a round trip seems to be inevitable. Happy microbiologists asked us yesterday to sample a piece of the micro karst - unfortunately it was too late, we had passed the calcite-rich gneisses and didn't encounter more cavities. !But! we still have open fractures - two samples are waiting in the freezer for a happy microbiologist.
