Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method of coring a crustal core sample, which comprises using a crustal core sampler equipped with a flow-able coating material-ejecting mechanism for ejecting a flow-able coating material, and ejecting the flow-able coating material composed of a polymer substance having a colloidal particles capturing ability by aggregating function and a water-absorbing polymer substance, from the flow-able coating material-ejecting mechanism of the crustal core sampler thereby coring a crustal core sample in a state coated with the flow-able coating material.
