While the Chikyu conducted tests in preparation for trial run of the Under Water TV camera, the core lab continued to process the remainder of the cores collected from C0004D. Due to the fragility of the material and the high interest in preserving the faulted material as intact as possible, we are taking extra caution and care with these cores.
