Not as such, but google on oracle tablespace blockdump. You can also use unix od on a static copy of the data files to try to figure things out.
There's also the bbed utility, that seems to upset people as it is the biggest security hole since telephone was analog, but some minor googling might find everything you need.
There are some data unloader tools like DUDE.
Compressed or encrypted files are another issue.
The question is not so simple in the context of "what do you want to accomplish?"
