| 2024-03-20 00:00:00 | 2024-03-20 23:59:59 | Data fields with a period instead of a number are missing values, i.e. samples were not taken or were deemed unusable. For GRO mineral core 5, data from the adjacent soil pit 5 were used because coring was blocked by boulders. For STS mineral core 5, data were averaged with data from the adjacent soil pit 5 because the core depth was less than the pit depth. | 2024-03-20 10:20:15 |
