Longitude: 18° 15.25' E
Logging

101.53 m (92.89 % of cored section)

The logging data was
recorded by Weatherford Wireline Services under supervision by personnel of RWTH Aachen University, Institute for Applied Geophysics and Geothermal Energy, which is part of the European Petrophysics Consortium
(EPC). Data were
provided by EPC to Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatoy, which formatted the files for inclusion in the online log database.

Hole M0063A was drilled with a 8 1/2 inch bit. In preparation for logging, the hole was circulated with sea water and the drill pipe was pulled back to 17.5 m WSF. Three tool strings were deployed:
MAI/MCG (Array Induction and Gamma Ray), MSS/SGS/MCG (Total and Spectral Gamma Ray and Compensated Sonic Tool) and CMI/MCG (Total Gamma Ray and MicroImager); they all acquired data from about 112 m WSF to the sea floor.
The data was acquired in with a sampling rate of 0.1 m. The CMI tool string acquired data with a sampling rate of 0.001 m.
Depth shift: A depth shift of 437.2 m was applied to all logs; this amount corresponds to the drilling/logging sea floor depth. Slight discrepancies (<1 m) may exist between the seafloor depths seen in the downhole logs (gamma ray) and those determined by the drillers as clay was present on the seabed frame used during this expedition.
Environmental corrections: None was applied.
Acoustic data: The data is provided as slowness, expressed in microsec/m and microsec/ft.
The quality of the data is assessed by checking against reasonable values for the logged lithologies and by correspondence between logs affected by the same formation property (e.g. the resistivity log should show similar features to the acoustic log). The quality of the data is good.
The total gamma ray values from the different passes correlate well. The potassium concentration is often extrememely low, beyond the tool detection capability. The gamma ray signature is mostly due to the Uranium and Thorium concentrations.
The hole size was measured by the caliper tool on the CMI, which provides two orthogonal measurements of the hole diameter.
A null
value of -999.25 may replace invalid log values.

information about the drilling and logging operations can be found in the
Operations section of the Downhole Measurement section in the IODP Proceedings of Expedition 347.
