Workshop Goals (can be modified during meeting)

1. Identification of clear, major hypotheses testable by coring the Early Mesozoic on and off the Colorado Plateau.
• How are the hypotheses ranked?

2. Plan for complete cored section of the lower Mesozoic of the Colorado Plateau
• How many coreholes?

3. Rational for selecting youngest stratigraphic level to core
• Science issues for selection

4. Plan for complete cored section of Triassic off Plateau
• How many coreholes?

5. Strategy to assure sufficient stratigraphic overlap between cores to assess lateral continuity
 • How much overlap?

6. Plan for coring in appropriate proximity to sources of surface data to assure registry
 • How close?

7. Plan for optimizing downhole logging and imaging and on-site core digital imaging to maximize information from cores allowing core to hole registry and associated geophysical properties.
• Which tools and logs?
