|---|---|---|
 | UN_Bit_Lost_Teeth_HSDP-2b_1.jpg | This is the core bit we removed yesterday. It has lost two of the cutting teeth from turning on loose rubble in the hole. The rest of the teeth are not significantly worn down, and this bit could have lasted much longer if the two teeth had not broken. |
 | UN_Mud_Check_HSDP-2b_1.jpg | When mixing drilling mud, the drillers check that it has the right density and viscosity to maximize its effectiveness as a cutting lubricant. |
