Abstract
The present invention relates to a geological sample holder. The holder includes a container for containing a geological sample and for orienting in an upright configuration. One or more baffles extend across the container and baffle the geological sample. Advantageously, the sample holder may be angled to the horizontal for scanning, and the baffles baffle the geological sample from shifting downwards.
Claims19
A geological sample holder for use in scanning, the holder including:
- a container for containing a geological sample and for orienting to a configuration that is upright or angled relative to a horizontal during scanning, the container including a base not including arrays of air perforations between baffles, the base including fastening formations to facilitate fastening with the baffles;
- and
- the baffles extending across the container and for baffling the geological sample to restrain the geological sample from shifting downwards and mimic a rock wall of a mine.
A geological sample system including:
- a geological sample holder for use in scanning, the holder including:
- a container for containing a geological sample and for orienting to a configuration that is upright or angled relative to a horizontal during scanning;
- and
- baffles extending across the container and for baffling the geological sample to restrain the geological sample from shifting downwards and mimic a rock wall of a mine,
- wherein the geological sample holder is oriented to the configuration;
- and
- a scanner for scanning the geological sample in the geological sample holder.
