NEWARK BASIN CORING PROJECT
1) Rift basins of the Newark Supergroup of eastern North America
showing the position of the Newark basin. 2) The Amoco SHADS
coring rig at the Rutgers coring site. 3) An evolutive power spectrum
of relative lake level (W.D.) based on the Triassic age lacustrine portion
of the Newark basin cores.
The Newark Basin Coring Project (NBCP) was a scientific drilling project
funded by the National Science Foundation from 1989 to 1994. The three
main goals of the project were to recover a very long and detailed record
of ancient continental climate, unravel the history of one of the largest
and longest lived rift basins, and produce a magnetic polarity time scale
for the Late Triassic.
