Lake E Daily News, Tuesday, 14 April, 2009
Eureka!!! Eureka!!! Its time to dance!!! At 6:55 this evening after 12 fabulous fine grained sediment cores taken at 3 m runs with 97% recovery (should be the best record of the lake history right after the impact), we are sure we have entered the transition zone into the impact breccia. Depth of contact at -315 m below lake floor.
This event is beyond words for us here, that we have both good recovery and with luck, the down hole loggers to drop their tools down through this zone. We plan to continue drilling through the transition and into the impact breccia until sometime around Wednesday noon (April 15, locally) and then stop to do the down hole logging. The next helicopter will take Doug, Jim, John, Catalina, Julia, and OSG downhole loggers Jochem and Martin.
