Archive of Geosample Data and Information from the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Earth Sciences
Metadata describing geological samples curated by Earth Sciences Department of the
University of Southern California (USC) collected during the period from 1922 to 1981
were coded and contributed by USC to the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological
Samples (IMLGS) database. Descriptions are for 7,472 cores, grabs, and dredges, most
collected in the eastern Pacific Ocean, offshore California, during 390 cruises of
the Velero IV, 1 cruise of the Thomas G. Thompson, and 1 cruise of the Agassiz. Please
contact the USC Department of Earth Sciences for the current status of the USC collection.
