German term

Bohrspülprobe

German to English Science Geology Geology
In the CV of a palaeontologist/geologist:
"Mikropaläontologische Auswertung von Bohrspülproben" and "Geochemische Aufbereitung von Bohrspülproben". I've found the expression "wash drilling", so perhaps these are samples obtained by wash drilling?
Proposed translations (English)

Selected

drilling mud sample; drilling fluid sample

Bohrspülung is - at least in gas wells - drilling mud or drilling fluid, so my suggestion may be the answer you're looking for! (Perhaps "wash drilling", which I don't know, is used in other types of wells or drilling activities.)
Peer comment(s):

agree Alan Johnson : Drilling mud sample is correct. If the context is clear enough, you can also simply use "mud sample"
