“…(Murphy, 1982;1984;Knight and Nolen-Hoeksema, 1990) of Figure 1 and for three limestones (Cadoret, 1993;Cadoret et al, 1995;Cadoret et al, 1998). Figure 3: Examples of the correlation of slopes with porosity: (a) three sandstones (Murphy, 1982;1984;Knight and Nolen-Hoeksema, 1990), (b) five limestones (Cadoret, 1993;Cadoret et al, 1995;Cadoret et al, 1998), (c) 11 fused glass-bead samples (Berge et al, 1995), (d) Westerly granite (Nur and Simmons, 1969) at four pressures. The observed trend is that high porosity samples generally have lower slopes than lower porosities on these plots, although there are a few exceptions as discussed in the text.…”
