Material types include continuous drillcore, core samples, individual hand specimens, bulk samples, unwashed cuttings, washed and dried cuttings, plugs, powders and bulk samples. The physical collection and database was developed as part of the British Geological Survey's responsibility to establish and maintain a national borehole collection. Details of the collection are held in the Borehole Materials Database, and may be accessed via the BGS website. The collection was initiated in 1968, and the database is updated daily by the addition of new data and by modification of existing data. Most material is stored at the facility in BGS Keyworth. Some material is held at BGS Edinburgh. The majority of borehole cores and samples are available for study and sub-sampling by bona fide academics and commercial companies. Commercial companies are charged for access; academics will need to complete an academic waiver form. Some boreholes, especially recent hydrocarbon wells, are confidential, and depths and sample details may not be given. If you require further information about these boreholes, contact kwcorestore@bgs.ac.uk for details of the owner. In a few cases, the precise map references are also confidential.</SPAN><SPAN> http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13480339</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> Enquiries British Geological Survey 0115 936 3143 0115 936 3276 Environmental Science Centre, Nicker Hill, Keyworth NOTTINGHAM NOTTINGHAMSHIRE NG12 5GG GB enquiries@bgs.ac.uk Enquiries British Geological Survey 0115 936 3143 0115 936 3276 Environmental Science Centre, Nicker Hill, Keyworth NOTTINGHAM NOTTINGHAMSHIRE NG12 5GG GB enquiries@bgs.ac.uk https://resources.bgs.ac.uk/images/geonetworkThumbs/9df8df51-63a6-37a8-e044-0003ba9b0d98.png GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 BGS Thesaurus of Geosciences 2022 Sampling Boreholes Drill core Rock samples Bulk sampling General geology UK Location (INSPIRE) Drill cuttings NERC_DDC Sampling Boreholes Drill core Rock samples Bulk sampling General geology UK Location (INSPIRE) Drill cuttings NERC_DDC The copyright of materials derived from the British Geological Survey's work is vested in the Natural Environment Research Council [NERC].

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. The information has been accumulated over many years and contains some inconsistencies and imperfections. Feedback on these is welcomed and should be directed to Dr M P A Howe. http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/27700 http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/EPSG/0/4326 http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13480339
