Imaging results

Radiographs

Table T1 summarizes the details of each radiograph. A total of 122 radiographs from 65 samples were taken from Sites U1322 and U1324 in Ursa Basin. In Brazos-Trinity Basin IV, 29 radiographs were completed on 24 samples at Sites U1319 and U1320. Table T1 includes sample location information such as site, hole, and core number.

Each entry in Table T1 is associated with a digital image (.pdf format), which is provided in “Supplementary material.” The images were created at one of two different locations: Fugro and the MIT radiography facility. Table T1 shows where each image was created. All of the Fugro images and 12 MIT images are shown as a positive print, where dense objects appear white and voids appear black. Figure F5 shows an example of this type of print at Site U1324. The remaining MIT images are shown as a negative print, where dense objects appear dark and voids appear white. Figure F6 shows an example of this type of print at Site U1324. The “inclusions” column in Table T1 summarizes the positive and negative print information.

X-ray CT scans

Table T2 summarizes the details of each X-ray CT scan. A total of 11 CT scans from 7 samples were taken from Sites U1322 and U1324 in Ursa Basin. In Brazos-Trinity Basin IV, one CT scan was completed on one sample at Site U1320. Table T2 includes sample location information such as site, hole, and core number.

Each entry in Table T2 is associated with a digital image (.pdf format), which is provided in “Supplementary material.” The images were created at CQI. The X-ray CT scans are shown as a positive print, where dense objects appear white and voids appear black. Figure F7 shows an example of CT scans at Site U1324.

Also included in “Supplementary material” are four movies (.mpeg files) from Sample 308-U1324C-2H-4, 50–100 cm. The movies include: (A) a fly through on axial CT slices, (B) the sample rolling on its short axis, (C) the sample rolling on its longitudinal axis, and (D) a fly through on the samples longitudinal sections. These movies, which were created using X-ray CT scans, show a three-dimensional perspective of a sample that can not be seen with a radiograph.
