Hey Ms. Davenport,

After reading your journal I can't imagine the answer to this question, but I was curious as to how many core samples you and your team takes a day on average?

Ana-
Our team tries to get 16 core samples every other day- but sometimes we get less than that, if the mud isn't very good or the seas are rough. It takes us around 4-6 hours to sort out all these samples, and then several days afterwards to process all the mud! It's a big process, so I am glad we don't usually core every day!!
Thanks for your question!
