These data are JPEG files of seismic reflection profiles (collected in 2006; published by Twichell and others, 2007) that are adjacent to vibracores collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during a 2007 cruise within Apalachicola Bay, Florida. These data are included to give the vibracores greater stratigraphic context. JPEG format is universal and yields an easily browseable pictorial view of the seismic profiles. Each profile image is hotlinked to its corresponding trackline navigation contained within a polyline shapefile (Seismic_Cores_INT.shp). These images also have representations of vibracore locations, which show the calculated core penetration depth on the profile. Core depth was determined by assuming a constant speed of sound in sediment and seawater of 1500 m/sec.

Survey lines from the SB-0512i that was towed behind the R/V Rafael are thought to have an accuracy of +/-20 meters, primarily because the towfish layback was not acounted for. Survey lines collected from the ASV (Autonomous Surface Vehicle) are expected to have higher accuracy due to the close mounted real-time kinematic GPS receiver. These data are likely accurate to +/- 5 meters.
Of the 921 seismic-reflection lines collected in 2005 and 2006 (Twichell and others, 2007), only 19 were selected for inclusion in this report. These 19 seismic images represent the seismic-reflection profiles that were adjacent to the 24 vibracores collected in 2007. All vibracores were collected from the R/V Gilbert using a Rossfelder vibracore. One vibracore was collected at each of the 23 predetermined locations, with the exception of site 18. Two cores were collected here because the first core (App07-18A) was recovered without a core catcher on the end, and several centimeters of the sample were lost. A second core was taken (App07-18B) at site 18, and both cores were processed and preserved. Core 18A is not shown on the seismic-reflection profile, because core 18B is a more complete sample from the same site.
Seismic-reflection profiles that were adjacent to 24 vibracores collected in 2007 in Apalachicola Bay, FL were selected from a published geophysical dataset (Twichell and others, 2007). Only the profiles within the near vicinity (50 meters) of a vibracore were chosen for inclusion in this report.
