Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for estimating a property of an earth formation, the apparatus comprising: a carrier configured to be conveyed through a borehole penetrating the formation; a single probe configured to be extended from the carrier and to seal with a wall of the borehole; a fluid analysis sensor disposed at the carrier and configured to sense a property of a formation fluid sample extracted from the formation by the single probe; a coring device disposed at the carrier and configured to extend into the single probe, to drill into the wall of the borehole, and to extract a core sample; a core sample analysis sensor disposed at the carrier and configured to sense a property of the core sample; an isolation door disposed at the single probe and configured to isolate the single probe from the coring device when the formation fluid sample is being extracted; and a processor configured to receive data from the fluid analysis sensor and the core sample analysis sensor and to estimate the property using the data.
