These data were compiled from multiple agencies conducting investigations and studies relevant to outer continental shelf (OCS) non-energy mineral resource (e.g. sand, gravel, shell) management. Many of these efforts were funded at least partially by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) (formerly known as the Minerals Management Service). The information contained in and linked to this table supports a wide variety of planning and management decisions and may provide a basis for future investigations of non-energy OCS mineral resources. |

| description:

The Samples Table contains information and data pertaining to sediment samples derived from cores (including borings) and grab samples (see Core and Grab Samples feature classes). The attributes in this table summarize sample acquisition (study and sample ID, elevation ,interval, source agency, contact info, etc.), processing and analysis (analysis date, dissolutions, removals, data reduction methods, etc.), and results of laboratory grain-size analyses. If available, data and additional content (e.g. photos, pdf logs, imagery, spreadsheets, weblinks, etc.) associated with individual sediment sample analyses (e.g. phi size distributions, Munsell color, age dating, heavy mineral content, and infauna) are provided within related MMIS geodatabase tables. |
