There are over 1,000 individual logs from over 450 different holes across the state. Holes include municipal wells, monitoring wells as well as deep and shallow drill holes. Logs collected may include: gamma, caliper, single point resistivity, self potential, normal resistivity, fluid temperature, fluid conductivity, flow meter - heat pulse, flow meter- spinner, optical borehole imager, and acoustic borehole imager. Locations of boreholes and PDF images and LAS files for more than 700 Geophysical Logs can be viewed at https://data.wgnhs.wisc.edu/data-pres-2018/ . New logs are added to this online map as they are added to the WGNHS sample tracking system, Geobase.

This collection includes paper originals and photocopies of reports beginning in 1936, and PDF scans of these reports, up to 1995. In more recent years, this information is available from the Wisconsin DNR via a computer database. Materials are arranged by county and PLSS locations. There are 326,385 well construction reports in this collection.

Thin sections prepared primarily in the course of research conducted by geologists of the Wisconsin Geological Survey. There appears to be a set of USGS-related thin sections, as well, but these are not evaluated at this time. Thin sections are tied to field notebooks, which are being reviewed as time allows. Certain physical collections have been located, but their geographic location is uncertain until the field notebooks can be tied to the actual thin section. We must tie physical materials to field notebooks in order to develop geographic coordinates for specific thin sections. Work to date has identified locations of physical items and is currently focused on assessing the notebooks themselves. There are 1,700...

Cores represent over 2,000 individual core sites drilled across the State of Wisconsin; stored in over 56,000 (mainly cardboard) boxes; representing approximately 650,000 linear feet of the subsurface. The Flambeau Core subcollection is approximately 3 percent of the collection of rock cores from Wisconsin. Documentation for the Wisconsin core collection is routinely updated, as information becomes available.

Sediment samples are splits from samples processed for textural analysis, geochemistry, color, and magnetic susceptibility. These are a variety of sediment samples, including mostly subsurface samples, collected in the course of Quaternary geology investigations at the UW-Madison Department of Geology and Geophysics and at the Wisconsin Geological Survey. These samples were transferred to the WGNHS in the winter of 2009-2010. They constitute the TillPro sub-collection of sediment samples in Geobase, our sample tracking system. There are more than 5,000 samples in this collection.

Hand specimens of rocks collected as a part of field work conducted primarily by present and former WGNHS staff members. Samples date from the early 20th century to the 1990s and were collected throughout the state. Many of the samples are described in the historical field notebook collection, and relationships between the samples and the field notebooks have been established and captured in identifiers. Locations for samples were taken from field notes, maps, and accession lists. There are approximately 5,700 hand samples in this collection.

Rock cores from Wi - Flambeau Mine. The Flambeau Core is a sub-collection of WGNHS’s collection of rock core. It consists of 1490 boxes taken from 50 holes drilled in Anomaly 22 of the Flambeau Mine site near Ladysmith in Rusk County, Wisconsin. These core samples have been thoroughly inventoried, logged, photographed, and evaluated for pyrite degradation. Logs, photographs and other metadata are available to researchers upon request. The subject of an FY2015 data preservation project, this core is represented by much more extensive metadata than is the rest of the core in our repository. This data preservation work also resulted in re-evaluation of the geochemistry and petrography of the ore body in Anomaly...

This is a multifaceted collection of physical materials -- rock hand samples and rock thin sections-- and related paper documentation -- field notebooks, maps, and ledgerbooks -- created and collected by some of the premier geologists of the USGS from 1882 through the early 1920s. A database relating all of these materials can be viewed at https://wgnhs.wisc.edu/lake-superior-legacy-collection-website/.
