The Florida Geological Survey (FGS) maintains a collection of geophysical logs run on water production wells, monitor wells, injection wells, oil and gas wells, and stratigraphic testing boreholes throughout the state. The collection represents approximately 5,320 boreholes, some of which are also represented in the core and well cuttings sample collection. The collection includes the following log types: Spontaneous Potential (SP), Single Point Resistance (SPR), Time, Caliper, Fluid Conductivity, Magnetic, Electrical Induction, Natural Gamma, Dipmeter, Laterolog, Micro Laterolog, Neutron, Photo, Radioactivity, Sonic, Temperature, Gamma-Gamma, Resistivity, and Fluid Velocity. The collection contains logs run by...

The Florida Geological Survey (FGS) holds a collection of over 9,000 lithologic descriptions of cores and cuttings from boreholes throughout Florida. This includes legacy logs previously stored in a file format requiring a DOS program to decode. Paper copies of a majority of legacy lithologic logs are stored in 150 large, green loose-leaf binders collectively named “Greenbooks,” (see the Collection of Borehole and Sample Reference Documents from Florida). The legacy files represent 60% of the collection and are currently being prepared for import into the FGS’s database to be made publicly available. The remaining 40% of the collection exist in various formats (both coded and decoded), which the FGS is working to...

Until 2007, when they transferred to the FDEP Division of Water Resource Management’s Mining and Mitigation Program, the Florida Geological Survey (FGS) had an Oil and Gas section who maintained a collection comprised of: permit application and compliance documents; well logs and well test data; monthly production data; and inspection photographs. Once stored in 54, four-drawer legal-sized file cabinets and organized by the permit number, the documents were scanned in batches and transferred back to the FGS. They are currently stored in rolling shelves organized by their scan batch numbers. Scanned documents that are not confidential are available on OCULUS (https://depedms.dep.state.fl.us/Oculus/), a CMS utilized...

The Florida Geological Survey (FGS) maintains a collection of geologic samples from throughout Florida. This includes core samples from boreholes drilled by the FGS as well as those received from the drilling of water production wells, monitor wells, injection wells, and stratigraphic testing boreholes. The core sample collection currently includes: continuous core (CCR); Standard Penetration Test (SPT) samples; individual core segments (COR); core chips (CHP); rotosonic core (RTS); and vibracore (VBC). The collection also includes samples that are from the secondary analysis of core specimens, which we have catalogued as “secondary samples” (SAS) and “representative samples” (REP), which are often sediment or...

The Florida Geological Survey (FGS) maintains a collection of geologic samples from throughout Florida. This includes cuttings samples recovered from drilling in the rock below the softer surficial sediments of Florida at intervals of 5, 10 or 20 ft. The FGS cuttings collection contains both washed and unwashed samples. Clay samples can easily be washed away when processing samples, so an unwashed set is kept for all samples. Samples are stored by interval in paper sample envelopes which are then stored in cardboard boxes. The collection includes over 39,000 boxes, which each hold an average of 380 ft per box. We have an estimated 13.1 million feet of cuttings in our collection, ranging from shallow sample sets...
The Florida Geological Survey (FGS) maintains a collection of historic field books and notes from prior FGS geologists. The oldest books date back to 1905. The content of these books cover a wide variety of topics, including drill logs and lithology, elevation information and topographical descriptions, outcrop and sample information, fossil collecting, inventory of water resources and water analyses, and catalogs of historical photos (many of which are also stored in the archives of the FGS). The current collection of field books is represented by more than 300 items totaling over 25,000 pages. In 2019-2020, the FGS completed digitally capturing the collection with priority on the oldest field books, transcribing...

This collection includes petrographic thin sections, sediment grain mounts, and microslides, which are related to our cuttings and core collections. Petrographic slides may be polished or unpolished, some with cover slips. A number of them are specialized paleontological or heavy mineral mounts. The collection is organized by well then interval. Part of the collection (approximately1,500 slides) is stored in slide storage boxes which are kept in file cabinets. While more recently received slides are currently stored in rolling shelving. The collection is a physical collection that is currently not accessible in an electronic format; however, ongoing projects are creating digital images of new slides that will be...

The Florida Geological Survey maintains a collection of paper documents associated with boreholes and hand specimens from throughout Florida. This collection includes all paper documents that can be considered archival documents or data sources, which are currently not in a collection of their own. In most cases, these documents hold information about boreholes and hand specimens within our sample collections; however, there remains a subset of the collection associated with boreholes outside of our sample collections that was deemed relevant at the time of acquisition for retention. These boreholes and their associated documents, were historically given a designation of a “wgi number.” During sample acquisition,...

The Florida Geological Survey (FGS) has historically held geologic samples from bordering areas for better understanding of the regional geology. This collection includes cuttings, continuous core, and core chips from Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, the Bahamas, Cuba, and offshore. In the 1990s, a majority of out-of-state wells were returned to their home states if the state surveys wanted them. Additional samples were discarded if they were of poor quality or missing locational information. The samples in this collection include several samples that remained after this clean out process as well as some from recent projects.

This collection includes lantern slides, 35mm slides, black and white negatives, and various prints taken by Florida Geological Survey staff. Images include fossil and mineral specimens, examples of hydrogeologic land formations, outcrops, and mining sites. The physical collection of historical photos is housed in the FGS library. The collection of 35mm slides are stored in binders while lantern slides are stored in archival envelops in a file cabinet. Scan thumbnails are available and searchable at https://resourcespace.dep.state.fl.us/pages/home.php. Larger files are available on request. Select historic images are also available at https://www.floridamemory.com.

The Florida Geological Survey maintains a collection of over 8,000 outcrop samples, mineral specimens, and manufacturing products from Florida. These samples are part of a large collection referred to as the "M-Series," which also includes 400 specimens from out-of-state. The M-Series is particularly valuable given Florida's high rate of growth and development. Surface exposures of critical lithologies have become inaccessible with the continued proliferation of roadways, shopping centers, parking lots and high-rise housing. The collection is housed in cardboard boxes and stored on rolling shelving units. Currently, work is being done to correlate these specimens to unique geologic exposure locations throughout...
