American Metal Climax, Inc. (AMAX) added coal production to its diverse mining, metals, and energy concerns on November 1,1969 through a mutually approved merger with Ayrshire Collieries Corporation of Indiana. Ayrshire boasted a long and productive lineage, originating with the first mines established by Scottish immigrant, David Ingle, in the early 1850s near Evansville, Indiana. The Ayrshire name persisted through subsequent purchases of mine shafts by Electric Shovel Coal Corporation in 1927 and a merger with the Patoka Coal Company in 1939, but was rebranded as AMAX Coal Company on January 1, 1972. It became America's third-largest coal producer by 1975. Drilling records in this collection relate to the company's...

A collection of well cuttings from the State of Indiana with a few from surrounding states. The well cuttings are filed in small envelopes identified with pertinent information and are stored in boxes in the basement of the Indiana Geological Survey. Each box has a file number which links it to other types of information. In addition to the archived cuttings, 80% of the cuttings are mounted on lithologic strip logs. The cuttings are glued on the strip log according to their correct depth. This gives the user the option to look at either the strip log or the actual well cuttings. There are 13,455 archived wells in the Indiana Geological Survey rock cuttings collection. This collection takes up approximately 15,000...

This is a collection of over 14,000 physical sediment samples that accompany the gamma-ray logs. There are an estimated 2168 sample sets. The samples are stored in whirl bags labeled with the unique gamma-ray log number and depth of sample. The bags are stored in core boxes labeled with the unique gamma-ray number and range of depth. The number of samples per log primarily depends on the depth of the log. Due to poor original storage methods many samples were lost, therefore there are close to 800 gamma-ray logs without available physical samples.

This is a collection of digital gamma-logs for Indiana provided by the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) in .las and .pdf file format to the public at https://igs.indiana.edu/GeophysicalLogs/. The majority of these logs, 1993 to present, were taken digitally in the field. Anything before 1993 has been digitized. There are a total of 2795 logs available through the database.

The primary collection of field notebooks at the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) are housed by subject in various location through the IGS. Most are filed by county and labeled with the study area. These are the field notes taken by IGS geologists in the field primarily between 1960 and 1985.

This collection consists of glass microscope slides (1"x3") on which is glued a thin slice of rock ~3cm long, 2cm wide, and 0.003cm thick. At this thickness, most minerals are transparent, so they can be easily seen and studied in great detail. The slides are numbered and filed in special slide boxes located in the basement of the Indiana Geological Survey. The numbers correspond to a listing with pertinent information about the well itself, such as county, location, farm name, number, operator's name, etc. The listing is found next to the slide boxes. Also included is the number of the core from which it came. There are 11 boxes (5.5"x10") of slides with supporting documentation.

Miscellaneous geochemical data and reports generated at the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS). They are currently boxed up in long-term storage since the geochemistry section of the IGS was disbanded. .A box measuring 15"H x 9.5"W x 20"L is considered a unit. The data needs to be evaluated and linked to the physical samples.

These are crushed coal samples collected by Indiana Geological Survey coal geologist from Indiana coal mines and borehole locations. They represent various coal beds of the Pennsylvanian age. They are usually crushed to 0.8 mm size for mineral analysis and vitrinite reflectance measurements. Plastic jars of 100ml volume.

This is the collection of original paper gamma-ray logs, copies and other items that are associated with the gamma-ray logs housed at the Indiana Geological Survey. They are stored in 12 file cabinets. This represents all of the original paper copies since 1978 when the collection began. Each log can be found filed in the original file, used mainly as a master file, as well as by county, the working file. The paper logs have been digitized made available to the public at https://igws.indiana.edu/borehole-logs in .las and .pdf format.

State Geologist Charles Deiss (1945-1959) combined the efforts of the Indiana Geological Survey and Indiana University Department of Geology shortly after the start of his tenure, establishing subject-specific research sections within the Survey. This collection contains crushed rock specimens created for use in various analyses, including X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, by members of the Geochemistry Section from 1947-1994. Specimen sources varied but primarily came from bedrock cores in the IGWS core library. Specimens are currently organized by sample ID.

The item consists of a box measuring 15"H x 9.5"W x 20"L.

This is a collection of well cores from the state of Indiana with a few from surrounding states. There are 1,084 cores filed to date at the Indiana Geological Survey. This translates into approximately 34,098 boxes and 202,744 feet of core in the building, which is at capacity. The core in this collection is variable with different diameters. Some are filed whole, halved, and quartered. Some of the cores are sawed which gives a very smooth surface as opposed to a raw surface when the core is split.

A lithologic strip log is a long paper board strip that is representative of the well cuttings produced by drilling. This is done by gluing the cuttings at the correct depth on the strip log. The logs are then filed in cabinets by section, township, and range. This extensive collection is unique to the Indiana Geological Survey. The strip can be easily viewed under the microscope. The well cuttings can be pulled to get a better look if greater detail is needed.

This collection of maps includes a variety of maps that convey attributes of the petroleum industry and its relationship to subsurface geology in Indiana. These include: well location, sample, producing horizon, structure, isopach, and porosity distribution maps. The maps are stored in 15 flat files and 10 file cabinets. The maps range in size from 8”x11” to 36”x42”

This collection includes records for non-water wells in Indiana. Some County Strat Test (CST) wells are pretty shallow boreholes located within the state. Most are related to petroleum exploration and development efforts. Data includes completion reports, scout tickets, geophysical logs, sample descriptions and test results. Some records include small-scale geophysical and colored driller's logs. This collection is housed in the Records Center at the Indiana Geological and Water Survey, Indiana University, Bloomington, and is accessible by appointment.
