Abstract

A method and apparatus for determining the location in space of a formation sample is set forth. This involves a tool which is typically run on a wireline in a well, the tool supporting orthogonal positioned magnetometers and similar orthogonal accelerometers for measuring movement of the tool along the well borehole whereby components of the magnetic field and gravity field are measured to enable determination of the well in space. The tool supports an axially positioned centrally located core cutting apparatus and a laterally projecting plug cutting apparatus; scribe marks formed on the formation samples orient the samples relative to the tool and the tool is located in space from the above mentioned measurements so that the position of formation samples can be determined.
