Abstract
Description of the Mackereth Portable Core Sampler
Alec J. Smith
ABSTRACT
The Mackereth core sampler is a portable corer capable of collecting fine-grained bottom samples from lakes and shallow seas at depths up to 300 feet. At the sampler's present stage of development cores up to 20 feet in length with a diameter of 1
inches can be collected. The corer operates as a piston which is pushed into the sediments by compressed air. The corer is held on the surface of the sediment for the duration of the coring operation by the hydrostatic pressure. When the sample has been taken the corer is raised to the surface by means of compressed air.
