Abstract

The Snake River Plain (SRP), Idaho, hosts potential geothermal resources due to elevated groundwater temperatures associated with the thermal anomaly Yellowstone-Snake River hotspot. Project HOTSPOT has coordinated international institutions and organizations to understand subsurface stratigraphy and assess geothermal potential. Over 5.9km of core were drilled from three boreholes within the SRP in an attempt to acquire continuous core documenting the volcanic and sedimentary record of the hotspot: (1) Kimama, (2) Kimberly, and (3) Mountain Home. The Mountain Home drill hole is located along the western plain and documents older basalts overlain by sediment. This submission includes photos of the core samples taken from the Mountain Home drill hole. Data submitted by project collaborator Doug Schmitt, University of Alberta *Note - The archive file "MH Photos.zip" contains all of the photos associated with this submission in a more easily downloaded format

Utah FORGE Well 78B-32 Core Photos: Wet and Dry in Boxes

Dataset Jones, Clay

This is a set of 42 core photos, in boxes, from Utah FORGE well 78B-32. The photos show the core both wet and dry from depths of 6700 - 6737 feet and 8502 - 8538 feet.
Utah FORGE Well 16A(78)-32 Core Photos

Dataset Jones, Clay

Images of core samples collected from Utah FORGE well 16A(78)-32. These images were created by stitching together multiple photographs resulting in a circumferential view of the cores exterior in two dimensions. Core footages (measured depths) are indicated in the file names, and are annotated on each image. The images, of which there are 30 in the .zip file, are in a .jpg format.
