This collection contains sites with vertical seismic profile data, including shear wave and P-wave components. The sites are located primarily in the New Madrid Seismic Zone in western Kentucky and surrounding states.
thumbnail
This collection contains scanned brine analyses records collected with Kentucky oil and gas well drilling activity.
thumbnail
This collection contains scanned core analyses records collected with Kentucky oil and gas well drilling activity.
thumbnail
This collection is comprised of records of coal exploration drill holes provided to KGS by both private companies and public agencies. It includes paper documents of the core or cutting descriptions, scanned images of the documents, and an online database of the subsurface data. Approximately 60% of the records are publically accessible.
All core samples on file at the KGS Earth Analysis Research Library with photos of core boxes by interval. Includes continuous or interval cores on file at the KGS Earth Analysis Research Library in Lexington, Kentucky. Core samples range from PreCambrian to Mesozoic in age and are derived from oil and gas wells, coal or mineral exploration wells, geotechnical wells, and hydrologic investigation wells.

Scanned publications from the Eastern Gas Shales Project. A University of Kentucky and Kentucky Geological Survey project funded by the United States Department of Energy Morgantown Energy Technology Center. Contract Number EY-78-S-21-8215. Publications include structure contour maps, isopach maps, cross-sections describing various shale horizons in Kentucky and a final report describing the project with logs, core descriptions, and lab analyses.
This collection contains cuttings from stratigraphic tests drilled in the Jackson Purchase region of Kentucky during the U.S. Geological Survey / Kentucky Geological Survey geologic mapping program between 1960 and 1978. Physical samples are stored at the KGS Earth Analysis Research Library.

Catalog of geologic digital images including outcrops, landscape scenes, specimens, diagrams, and cross sections
Geochemistry analyses from various projects at the Kentucky Geological Survey
thumbnail
The rock core documents in this collection were collected by the the Kentucky Geological Survey when a rock core or other sample was turned into Earth Analysis Research Library. These documents were scanned with funding from the 2022 USGS Data Preservation Program. The scanned documents in this collection provide important information, including lithologic descriptions, geochemical analysis, project details, and related publications.

Measurements of coal thickness, elevation, and bed correlation for field sites in eastern and western Kentucky
thumbnail
This collection represents a compilation of water well information from a variety of sources, but primarily the Kentucky Division of Water, and constitutes the Kentucky Groundwater Data Repository. It includes well header and construction data, and downhole lithologic descriptions.
thumbnail
This collection contains records of drilling, sampling, and analyses performed by the Geotechnical Branch of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Sample sites include both rock core and soil sample intervals along highway alignments. Data are available only for projects completed after 2006. Historical data can be obtained from a catalog of project reports.

All core samples on file at the KGS Earth Analysis Research Library. Includes continuous or interval cores on file at the KGS Earth Analysis Research Library in Lexington, Kentucky. Core samples range from PreCambrian to Mesozoic in age and are derived from oil and gas wells, coal or mineral exploration wells, geotechnical wells, and hydrologic investigation wells.

This dataset provides the geographical locations of karst groundwater basins, groundwater flowpaths, and dye injection/recovery points in Kentucky. Dye tracing is a common method used for understanding groundwater flow pathways and connectivity. Dye is poured (or injected) into a sinking stream, well, sinkhole, or body of flowing water, where it is carried down-gradient. The locations at which dye is detected (or recovered) indicates a connection from injection to recovery site. This connection is a groundwater flowpath. As more dye traces are conducted, flowpath convergence or lack thereof can be used to draw karst groundwater basins, which are analogous to surficial watersheds. Karst groundwater basins differ...

Locations of outcrops associated with geologic field data such as photographs, samples, analyses, type and measured sections.
In 1960, the Kentucky Geological Survey was designated as the official repository for oil and gas drilling records, along with well samples, under the provisions of Kentucky Revised Statute 353. This statute requires that samples of rock cuttings from selected oil and gas test wells drilled in Kentucky be saved. Samples submitted to the Kentucky Geological Survey are stored, cataloged, washed, indexed, and protected for immediate or future use. The well sample collection contains cuttings from approximately 14,850 wells throughout Kentucky.

This sections scanned by the Kentucky Geological Survey and served via a KGS web application. Thin sections images displayed with plane-polarized light and cross-polarized light in the online thin section slider viewer. Each thin section assigned an International Generic Sample Number (ISGN).
