  <dc:description>A continuous core was recovered from a 961-foot- deep stratigraphic  corehole at Robins Point, located at the southeastern tip of the  Gunpowder Neck Peninsula, Harford County, Maryland. A 2-inch- diameter  ground-water-quality observation well was installed with the screen set  at a depth of 392 to 402 feet (ft). Geophysical logs obtained from thecorehole include:  natural gamma, multipoint normal resistivity (16-inch  and 64-inch), 4-ft-guard focused resistivity, acoustic (sonic) velocity,  and caliper. Pollen analysis of 34 samples provided relativestratigraphic ages. Lithologies encountered in ascending order (surface  elevation 4 ft above mean sea level), include:  72.4 ft of weatheredmetamorphic rock and saprolie, 711.4 ft of lower and upper Cretaceous  fluvio-deltaic deposits, and 145.9 ft of Pleistocene and 31.3 ft of Holocene(?) fluvial and estuarine deposits.   Aquifers and confining units identified include, in descending order:  41.8 ft of surficial aquifer, 90.9 ft of upper paleochannel confining unit, 28.8 ft of paleochannel confined aquifer, 15.7 ft of lower paleochannel confining  unit, 123.7 ft of Upper Patapsco aquifer, 44.6 ft of Upper Patapsco  confining unit, 92.8 ft of Middle Patapsco aquifer, 57.3 ft of Lower  Patapsco confining unit, 151.7 ft of Lower Patapsco aquifer, 115.4 ft of  Potomac confining unit, 126.4 ft of Patuxent aquifer, an aquifer of 23.4  ft of saprolite, and 48.7 ft of weathered-rock/saprolite confining unit.</dc:description>
