December 18, 2020

This dataset includes pdf representations of drill core logs showing associated drill core information, a pdf of the explanation for the lithology and structure sections of the logs, a shapefile of the locations of the drill holes, and eleven individual .csv files of tabular data that was compiled from hand written drill core logs. The drill core is from the Stillwater Complex, Montana and was drilled from 1969 to 1973 by the Anaconda Copper Company. The core was logged from 1982 to 1983. The pdf images and .csv files include lithologic, structure, grain size, sulfide, copper, and nickel mineralization information. The pdf logs were created using Golden software's Strater 5 drill core visualization software. The pdf images are provided with both a logarithmic (Stillwater Anaconda BB drill logs log scale.pdf) and linear scale (Stillwater Anaconda BB drill logs.pdf).
