Overall coring operations and core recovery have improved very, very much, and we have recovered material that we believe to be within the splay fault, including an age reversal (tentative). Cores are being CT scanned, sampled for IW, and then refrigerated pending review by science party for an integrated/comprehensive sampling strategy using the CT imagery. Aside from the short interruption due to the IAS failure, all is going relatively smoothly.
