X-rays and xeroradiographs of marine and estuarine sediment cores collected in Maryland, taken prior to core extrusion. Cores, generally obtained using gravity or box coring equipment, are usually 1-2 m long. This collection has not yet been fully inventoried or cataloged. Need to coordinate cores and all data derived from cores; need to determine best way to store x-rays to preserve them.
