ABSTRACT:
A vibratory seismic surface source includes a single vibrating mass, the energy of which is coupled with the earth through a ground contacting base plate. The vibrating mass is connected to the base plate by means of a ball and socket joint which constitutes a universal pivot for the vibratory axis of the mass. Thus, this vibratory axis may be made to assume any vector path with respect to a seismic line. In this manner, any desired combination of compressional and shear waves, both SH and V type, may be generated and recorded simultaneously at a point on the earth's surface remote from the source.
