2008 January 21 (Day 34)
Weather: Overcast
Site: C0007 (NT1-03A) (33°01’ N, 136°47’ E)

Coring continued throughout the day with generally good results. Recovery and quality have improved overall, with the exception of two empty cores thought to be related to high heave during coring. We continue to core through moderately lithified mudstone/claystone. The mudstone is now becoming much more dominant in the deeper portions of the hole.
