Abstract

On March 2, 1975, the U.S. Geological Survey completed a series of geophysical well logs in the Charleston Project Deep Core Hole No. 1 located at Latitude 32° 53.2 'N and Longitude 80° 21 . 5'W in Dorchester County near Charleston, South Carolina. The land surface is at an elevation of 5.4 m (18 ft) above mean sea level. The total depth of the test hole is 793 m (2,600 ft) and the geophysical logs were recorded through fresh barite mud to the bottom. The deep geologic. test hole penetrated the entire section of Atlantic Coastal Plain sediments and extended about 40 m (130 ft) into basement rock composed of basalt flows. The purpose of the logging is to assist in the interpretation of the depositional environments, stratigraphy, structural, and geological history of the onshore and offshore areas surrounding Charleston, S.C. The purpose of this report is to make the uninterpretated geophysical recordings of the entire log suite publicly available . The logs available are shown in table 1, along with the operating depth intervals, total footage, scale, units of measure, combination log, and other pertinent data.
