The depth relationships for the Apollo 14 and 15 core tubes and the Apollo 15 drill core are presented, as determined from laboratory simulation studies. Sample at a depth of 40 cm in the Apollo 14 double core tube (virtually the same as the Apollo 12 tubes) represents material from a depth of approximately 58 cm in the lunar surface. The new design of the Apollo 15 core tube results in much less sample disturbance and the depth relationship is practically one-to-one, with sample recovery approaching 100%. The depth relationship for the drill core is also probably close to one-to-one, and its recovery ratio was also 100%.
