Table T2. Parameters to describe permeability (k) versus porosity (n) behavior for Expedition 308 lithofacies.

Lithofacies
Equation 5
ko (m2)
γ
Mudstone 10–22.48 9.40
Mass transport deposit 10–22.48 9.40
Siltstone 10–16.77 9.19

The parameters for the mudstone and mass transport deposit lithofacies are based on harmonically averaging the results of 29 uniaxial consolidation experiments (see Equation 5).
