[57] A core tray constructed of a lightweight material with individual flutes each having an arc shaped bottom, to accommodate a cylindrical core sample, and upstanding side and divider walls, to separate one sample from another. The core tray has sloping side walls terminating at their upper ends in rounded shoulders and legs are formed on the bottoms of the side walls. Rounded junctions are formed between the legs and tray bottom, which are arranged such that the top of one core tray will slide easily into the bottom of another tray stacked thereon between the legs of the upper tray. The rounded shoulder at the top of one tray fits closely into the rounded junction of another tray, and handles inset into the ends of each tray are constructed to have a finger ridge therein by which a person may securely grasp the trays during handling.
