Which type of sampling method should we used in nummulitic limestone deposit

If you need core, sonic as suggested above is probably the way to go (should be slightly cheaper than diamond). If you simply want chemistry, face-sampling downhole hammer RC should provide a more cost-effective result.

I'm not sure what use you have for the limestone, but I have looked after a drilling program at a cement operation where we were drilling RC. That wasn't a nummalitic limestone and as per what earlier said, we were interested in assaying for and subsequently estimating the concentration of deleterious elements (as well as CaCO3) for a cement plant feed.
