The Gulf of Mexico GIS database is intended to organize and display USGS held data and provide on-line (WWW) access to the data and/or metadata. Purpose: This ArcView GIS layer contains a summary of the locations, depths, and lengths of the cores collected aboard the R/V FARNELLA 90-4 cruise from 12 -26 April 1990. The cores were collected from the eastern Gulf of Mexico to study depositional processes on the Mississippi Fan and along the base of the Florida Escarpment. Cores were collected with either a piston or gravity corer and were all less than 6.55 m in length. This information has been imported from a publication by Paskevich et al. (2001). Further discussion of the information can be found in Nelson et al. (1992).
