Zusammenfassung: | This invention is directed to an apparatus utilized for extracting earth cores from sub-sea formations. In particular, the apparatus may be dropped from a carrier vessel, whereupon it descends as a completely self contained unit to the ocean bottom. After penetration and extrusion by the apparatus in the ocean bottom an automatic condition-responsive device facilitates the extrication of the apparatus from the marine bottom by providing a sufficient buoyant force to lift the apparatus to the ocean surface. |
