Core and Borehole Fractures from the Cape Roberts Drilling Project, Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica: Transantarctic Mountains Front Stress Field History

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

Natural and drilling-induced fractures in core, and fractures in borehole walls, were logged from three Cape Roberts Project drillholes located in the western Ross Sea, Antarctica.

Description

Core fracture data includes depth, dip and dip azimuth (core coordinates), and fractographic features. Records were kept of intact core intervals, which are continuous lengths of core where no internal relative motion occurred.

Approximately one quarter of the core from CRP-2 and CRP-3 drillholes was oriented by feature matching between oriented borehole televiewer logs and whole-core digital scans. Tables of rotation angles to restore intact intervals of core to in situ coordinates are available. Digital records obtained by this project include whole-core scans of most of the core, scans of the entire slabbed core, and borehole televiewer imagery of portions of CRP-2 and CRP-3 borehole walls.

The fracture, intact interval and orientation tables are available as Excel files from the project investigators. The digital core records can be provided on CD-ROM for the cost of the recording media. Detailed description of the data sets and interpretations made from them can be found in the Cape Roberts
