Squeeze cakes undergo 25,000lbs of pressure to separate sediment from the pore water trapped inside. There is a wire screen that acts as the first step in filtering that water out. #EXP393 📸Tessa Peixoto/ IODP #NSFfunded #sedimentology #geochemistry pic.twitter.com/kIUEHSHPkX

Such small creatures are the biggest wonders! @d_kuwano studies nano fossils and how they can help us understand past environments and help age our core samples! #EXP393 1st 📸 : Daisuke Kuwano 2nd 📸: Marcin Latas #NSFfunded #paleontology #fossils #microscope pic.twitter.com/7FiydG5Ijz

It is a cube! One of our paleomagnetists cut a cube out of the rock to determine the direction of Earth’s magnetic field at the time when the lava solidified.#EXP393 📸Tessa Peixoto/ IODP #NSFfunded #EarthScience #research pic.twitter.com/2ISzDdX2Gk

Beep beep, core coming in! The hard rock cores are taken directly to the splitting room for the Co-chief scientists, petrologists, and microbiologists to discuss which samples the mbio team can take for their experiments. #EXP393 📸Tessa Peixoto/ IODP #NSFfunded #geology pic.twitter.com/CLW4xsA1d4

This container of liners has served is well so far for our two drill site on #EXP393. 📸Tessa Peixoto/ IODP #NSFfunded #EarthScience pic.twitter.com/k1IPzMxUu9

Wait for it. The new core barrel is dropped into the drill pipe to start drilling for a new core. It is falling over 4000m down to the borehole 😳 #EXP393 (Sped up 2x) 🎥Tessa Peixoto/IODP . . #NSFfunded #rigfloor #ScientificOceanDrilling pic.twitter.com/smuAf7a268
