Startup Disk not recognized

At startup my OSX partition isn't recognized.

When booting up in Recovery Mode, in Disk Utility I see the partition as disk0s2, and disk1 with Mac OS X Base System. When attempting to Verify or Repair disk, the same results show: "Verify/Repairing volume failed: Unrecognized file system."

It doesn't allow me to restore macOS X, only reinstall, but there are still important documents that I need.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated

It turns out the Partition Table of my SSD was modified when I, according to Disk Utility's output at the time, "successfully" partitioned my drive.
