A drill bit can be configured to form core segments during drilling. The drill bit can have having a central axis and a shank defining an inner bore. A crown can be coupled to the shank. The crown can define a cutting face and a core receiving slot that extends inwardly into the crown from the cutting face. The crown can define an inner operative circumference. A core break structure can be disposed within the shank. The core break structure can define a core break surface that extends inwardly toward the central axis and intersects an imaginary 3D projection of the inner circumference projected along the central axis.
