Default Core sample question

The Apollo XV mission brought back 10-foot core samples from Hadley
Rille.

How did this fit in the LM? Were the core samples rolled in a coil, or
stored in segments?

....IIRC, they broke down into five 2' sections, so as to easily be
stored inside one of the rock boxes.
