A SIDE WALL SAMPLER

A SIDE-WALL SAMPLER WHICH IN CAPABLE OF TAKING SAMPLES FROM THE WALLS OF TEST-HOLES TO A DEPTH OF 1000 FT. OR MORE IS DESCRIBED. SAMPLES HAVE BEEN EXTRACTED FROM TILL, CLAY SILT, AND FINE- TO COURSE-GRAINED SANDS IN DRIFT AND NON-INDURATED BEDROCK FROM MORE THAN 1000 TESTHOLES IN SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN. SIDE-HOLE SAMPLING IS FASTER AND CHEAPER THAN CONVENTIONAL SAMPLING METHODS AND IS IDEALLY SUITED FOR GEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS. MINERALOGICAL, PALEONTOLOGICAL, AND RADIO-CARBON ANALYSES HAVE BEEN DETERMINED ON SIDE-HOLE CORES. /CGRA/
