Fritz, I J

To characterize the effect of the calcite II-III phase transition on sound propagation in limestone, measurements were made to 25 kbar on Solenhofen limestone. Seven samples, both jacketed and unjacketed, all cored from a single piece of material, were used. Transit time is plotted vs pressure, and anomalies are seen for both longitudinal and transverse waves. 3 figures. (RWR)
