Sample Family

=Hole, =Core, =Core-Section, =Core-Sample
The Sample Family shows a sub-sampling graph. Select entries to navigate samples. Core-Samples are issued to scientists on request. The naming convention for a Core-Sample is: Expedition_Site_Hole_Core_Section,from-to(cm). Hole, Core, and Core-Section are following the same schema respectively.
