Figure F27. Formation factor profile. Increasing consolidation is depicted in the rapid formation factor increase below ~305 mbsf, consistent with shipboard and Hole 846B logging P-wave velocities. Resistivity data were not collected below 375 mbsf due to instrument maintenance. The framed area indicates values obtained for intact core biscuits into which holes were drilled to prevent splitting of the core during insertion of the probe. They are considered to represent the more reliable data.
