Scanlon 20020300 Unknown caco3: Sample Analysis for Calcium Carbonate vector digital data Woods Hole Field Center, Woods Hole, MA USGS, Coastal and Marine Geology Program http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2003/of03-002/ caco3 This file contains location and carbonate content analysis of samples taken during Cruise No. FERL01052 aboard the NOAA Ship Ferrel. These samples were taken on East and West Flower Garden Banks of the Flower Gardens Bank National Marine Sanctuary between May 28, 2002 and June 3, 2002. The information collected during this cruise is intended for a preliminary geologic interpretation of the surficial sediment distribution in order to determine sites for future sample collection. The interpretations presented in this Open File Report are subject to change with future data acquisition. This ArcView shapefile contains the locations of sediment samples collected and analyzed by the U. S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole Field Center starting in May 2001 and ending in December 2001. Distribution of this dataset allows the user the ability to visualize the information in a Geographic Information system. en 2001 publication date Complete As needed -93.933830 -93.534000 28.002830 27.789500 -93.933830-93.53400027.78950028.002830 None U.

The basic structure of the file is a matrix where records are rows representing individual samples and the columns contain information on sample identification, navigation, classifications, analyzed parameters, and comments. The file caco3.xls was converted to a .dbf file and was imported into ArcView to create a table. This table was then converted to an ArcView shapefile to be used as a GIS layer in the project. caco3.xls 20020205 caco3.dbf ferltxtr.shp ferltxtr.shx ferltxtr.sbn ferltxtr.sbx ferltxtr.avl Kathryn M.
