Apparatus and method are disclosed for recording seismic signals on a logging chart as a function of the depth of a logging sonde within a well bore includes apparatus for analyzing the seismic signals. The method utilizes the recording of information relating to the slope of a seismic signal received from the sonde. A recording trace is made using successive horizontal sweeps with no vertical deflection, and presence of a mark on the recording can indicate a positive slope for the seismic signal, and the absence of a mark can indicate a negative slope. An apparatus of the present invention utilizes this method to record well logging information obtained from seismic signals.
