Table 2 Summary of the laboratory data (connected porosity, P-wave velocity, Young’s modulus, and uniaxial compressive strength) collected for the fifteen depths sampled in the Muschelkalk at exploration well EPS-1 (Soultz-sous-Forêts), and three depths sampled in the Buntsandstein at the Muschelkalk–Buntsandstein interface

From: Petrophysical properties of the Muschelkalk from the Soultz-sous-Forêts geothermal site (France), an important lithostratigraphic unit for geothermal exploitation in the Upper Rhine Graben
