Lithostratigraphic core description provides a record of the stratigraphic variation in composition, texture, and sedimentary structure preserved in marine sediment cores. Here we present graphical lithostratigraphic core description logs for pressure cores collected during the 2017 UT GOM2-1 Expedition. The cores summarized here were those that were not retrieved under pressure, but nevertheless recovered some sufficient, intact strata that represent the host lithology across the Green Canyon (GC) 955 gas hydrate reservoir. Our results here represent visual core descriptions and include split core photos and location data for samples collected during core description.
