Finally, in the 11th hour, we got diplomatic clearance to drill in the territorial waters of Mozambique.  In fact, anyone…

So now we come full round back to the microfossils, final stop on our core section’s age correlation path.  As…

The last of the physical properties stations that the (archive half) core sections travel to is paleomagnetics, with the cryomagnetometer. …

As I mentioned two days ago (internet failure yesterday, sorry), when the whole round core gets split, the working half…

Now that the core has been correlated, and we’re sure we have a complete column all the way down, we’ll…

Since there is a working plan for filling the gaps, the stratigraphic correlators are doing a bit better today, so…
