Wet and dry resistivities along three orthogonal directions of ODP Holes 185-801C and 185-1149B

The results of shore-based three-axis resistivity and X-ray computed tomography (CT) measurements on cube-shaped samples recovered during Leg 185 are presented along with moisture and density, P-wave velocity, resistivity, and X-ray CT measurements on whole-round samples of representative lithologies from Site 1149. These measurements augment the standard suite of physical properties obtained during Leg 185 from the cube samples and samples obtained adjacent to the cut cubes. Both shipboard and shore-based measurements of physical properties provide information that assists in characterizing lithologic units, correlating cored material with downhole logging data, understanding the nature of consolidation, and interpreting seismic reflection profiles.
