The COSC-1 drill site at 3 am

After a break because of a mishap with the core catcher, drilling continued at about 2 pm, and in the following 14 hours we got about 40 m drill core. The geological documentation is really difficult, to find an appropriate balance between speed and detail. The rocks are complicated and our discussions could be long while we get three metres of new core about every 45 min. Thus, we just continue logging - a field description is not a laboratory study .. The present depth of the drill hole is c. 340 m and core-recovery about 100 %.
