Onshore Borehole Collection.

Collection of drillcore, bulk samples, unwashed cuttings and processed material from onshore boreholes drilled in the UK by BGS, commercial and public bodies. Developed as part of the BGS responsibility to establish and maintain a National Borehole collection. Details of the collection are held on the 'Borehole Materials Database', and may be accessed over the internet from the BGS internet site.

Data Quality

Materials are selected for addition to the collection according to the NGMC (National Geological Materials Collection) accessions policy. Drillcore is divided into metre lengths and placed in cardboard boxes. Cuttings and bulk samples are similarly placed in appropriate metre length boxes. The samples are then added to the 'Borehole Materials Database', barcode labels stuck to the boxes, and the boxes placed on pallets for adding to the main store.
