UKGEOS Cheshire TH0424 Initial Core Scanning Dataset contains X-ray radiographic images and geophysical property data from a 100-meter borehole core. The British Geological Survey generated the dataset using a Geotek RXCT scanner and multi-sensor core logger on the Sherwood Sandstone Group.
Use Cases
- Analyze X-ray radiographic images to identify sedimentary structures and fractures within the Sherwood Sandstone core.
- Model geophysical property data from the multi-sensor core logger to characterize rock density and porosity.
- Correlate geophysical measurements with visual features in the radiographic images for integrated geological interpretation.
Strengths
- Data originates from the authoritative British Geological Survey Core Scanning Facility.
- Core provides a continuous 100-meter vertical succession of the Sherwood Sandstone Group.
- Dataset combines two complementary data types: X-ray radiographic images and geophysical property logs.
Limitations
- Dataset scope is limited to a single borehole (TH0424) at Thornton Science Park, Cheshire.
- Data is described as an 'initial' dataset, potentially indicating it is not the final or complete release.
