Coring has progressed through fractured and faulted siltstone and mudstone, however cores -30R to -33R have had zero to very low recovery (recovery was of questionable material based on XCT and visual inspection). This coupled with high penetration rates during coring (7 minutes to cut a 9.5 m core) suggest that the formation is unconsolidated and non-cohesive.
