The drill has preserved the geology. The handover can still scramble the evidence.

At the rig-side bench, a fractured core run can arrive looking more like loose rubble than a continuous record. Similar fragments sit side by side. Matching faces can be easy to miss. A misplaced piece can make a vein, fracture, or geological transition appear out of sequence.

Reconstruction is where the run becomes readable again.

Fractured faces are matched. Changes in texture and structure are followed. Irregular pieces are returned to a sequence that another person can understand without relying solely on memory.

Inside an IndoTray, engraved start symbols and scale markings provide visible reference points while the core sequence is being rebuilt and measured. They do not interpret the geology—they help keep the physical order of the core clear before logging begins.

The core itself has not changed.

What changes is how clearly its physical record can be carried forward from the rig to the next stage of logging.

Before a fractured run leaves the receiving bench, can the next person clearly see where it starts, what comes next, and how the pieces relate to one another?

Because in core handling, preserving the sequence is part of preserving the record.
