Comments:
The repository has limited representative samples of rock core from
projects within the Little Rock district. They are located in a storage
building in Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. There is no staff and very little organization
concerning the storage facility. All core is NX, NQ, HQ, or 6 x 7.5, and
was retrieved for geotechnical-engineering purposes.
