Back to the front of 25 October

The vault has opened for deposits on 73 days since 26 February 2008; the largest day, 26 February 2008, brought 237,106 samples, and the latest, 13 October 2026, 16,514.

Each mark is one day the vault opened; its area is the samples that came in. The smallest days are drawn at the smallest size that can be seen. An outlined mark is a day the portal lists with no samples under it.
