Intern:Sample

The sample table is used to administer activities of sampling related to material as defined in the event table. Use the import form for upload.

Major research programmes (e.g. ODP) use a well defined sample designation, ensuring the reconstruction of any analytical values to its place of origin in the core:

ODP identifies cores, sections and samples by a sequence of numerals:
 * Core: leg number + site number + hole letter + core number + core-type letter.
 * Example:	Core 101-626A-2R
 * Section: leg number + site number + hole letter + core number + core-type letter + section number.
 * Example:	Section 101-626A-2R-1
 * Core catcher: leg number + site number + hole letter + core number + core-type letter + core-catcher abbreviation.
 * Example:	Sample 101-626A-2R-CC
 * Sample: leg number + site number + hole letter + core number + core-type letter + section number + interval from top of section in cm.
 * Example:	Sample 101-626A-2R-1, 50-52 cm

In tables sample designation occur without identifier and unit. This standard ODP sample designation should accompany each record or data file !
 * Example:	113-693A-4R-3,23-25

Core-type letters used:

 * R = rotary core barrel (RCB);
 * X = extended core barrel (XCB);
 * H = hydraulic piston corer (HPC), also advanced piston corer (APC);
 * B = drill-bit recovery;
 * C = center-bit recovery;
 * I = in-situ water sample;
 * S = sidewall sample;
 * W = wash-core recovery;
 * V = vibropercussive corer (VPC);
 * M = miscellaneous material
