Abstract A full waveform seismic source is described which is adapted to propel a heavy mass powerfully downward against the surface of an earth-contacting target plate. Means are provided for rotating the barrel of the actuator about two mutually perpendicular horizontal axes so that energy can be delivered to the earth along a plurality of preselected slant paths. In this way, any desired combination of compressional and shear waves, both SH and SV type, may be generated at a point on the earth's surface. The target is contoured so that any slant path followed by the accelerating mass always impacts the target normal to its surface.
