Summary
Abstract: The Office of Polar Programs and polar geologists recognized the value of
saving rock collections from Antarctica and created the United States Polar
Rock Repository at Ohio State University. This facility opened in October,

Project
Quality Information about the rock samples come from field notes, theses, publications
or from data tables filled out by the sample collector. Precise geographical
information is lacking for rock samples collected prior to 1990, for this we
have place names and field map information.
Access Constraints none
Use Constraints All users who have received samples from the USPRR must:
1) Acknowledge the USPRR in any proposal or publication (including annual
and final NSF reports) using the following wording: "This research used
samples and/or data provided by the United States Polar Rock Repository
(USPRR). The USPRR is ... View entire text
