Figure 6. Vp as a function of clay content (Hansen, 1997) compared with Hole 990A clay percentage and smoothed Vp data (Table 2). Note different Vp scales. Marion et al. (1989) model assumes clay as a pore filling. Chen and Nur (1994) and Xu and White (1995) models are a critical concentration model and a modified effective medium model, respectively.
