Exploring the relative contribution of mineralogy and CPO to the seismic velocity anisotropy of evaporites

We present the influence of mineralogy and microstructure on the seismic velocity anisotropy ofevaporites. Bulk elastic properties and seismic velocities are calculated for a suite of 20 natural evaporate samples, which consist mainly of halite, anhydrite, and gypsum. They exhibit strong fabrics as...
