The mafic-ultramafic rocks in Erlian-Hegenshan of Inner Mongolia suture zone have been recognized as "ophiolite", "magmatic rock", "mantle-source melt-fluid" and other petrological terms by a variety of authors for last few decades. Diamond and other dee
The statistics from image-analysis and the relationship between pore volume and shale components were in good agreement, indicating that different types of pores have their own relative restricted size range. Generally, intraP pores are larger than pores associated with rigid minerals, whereas the OM...
Predictive relationships between the geological properties and seismic velocities of the oolitic reservoirs show that the content, mean diameter, mean radius ratio, and standard deviation of grains and dolomite content are linearly related to seismic velocities, while the porosity has a logistical ...
