We have begun recovering relocating to beacons from sites C0006 and C0007, and following that operation we will be and spudding into site C0008 (proposed as NT2-10A). Final description, analysis, and sampling of the last cores from C0007 completed. Several faulted/brecciated zones identified with a wide array of fault rocks and associated with a tentative age reversal based on nannofossil analysis. Confirmation and cross-checking of these results is underway. Initial results from Site C0007 to be reported in general science meeting today, and Site Reports for C0007 will be finished in 2 days.
