| A core sample is a cylindrical section of a naturally occurring medium consistent enough to hold a layered structure. In most cases cores are obtained by drilling into the medium with a hollow steel tube called a corer. The hole made for the core sample is called a core hole. A variety of corers exist to sample different media under different conditions. More continue to be invented. In the coring process the sample is pushed more or less intact into the tube. Removed from the tube in the laboratory, it is inspected and analyzed by different techniques and equipment depending on the type of data desired. Analysis is generally non-destructive of most of the sample. |
