Abstract
The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) project is yielding new insight into the San Andreas Fault (Zoback et al., 2010; Zoback et al., this issue). SAFOD drill-ing started in 2002 with a pilot hole, and proceeded with three phrases of drilling and coring during the summers of 2004, 2005, and 2007 (Fig. 1). One key component of the project is curation, sampling, and documentation of SAFOD core usage at the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program’s (IODP) Gulf Coast Repository (GCR) at Texas A&M University. We present here the milestones accom-plished over the past two years of sampling Phase III core at the GCR.

The main objective of the InterLaboratory Comparison Project was to run tests on standardized sample materials to provide a baseline for the comparison of results from experiments conducted on SAFOD Phase III core samples (Lockner et al, 2009)
Preliminary results of the inter-lab comparisons were discussed at the EarthScope meeting in Boise, Idaho in 2009 (Lockner et al, 2009), and further results were presented at the AGU 2010 Fall Meeting
