Figure 8

Properties of NSG-rich grainstone cemented as a result of mineral-driven meteoric diagenesis—(A) UCS Peak stress versus cement-to-solid ratio; (B) UCS Peak stress versus void ratio; (C) Void ratio versus cement-to-solid ratio; Black-contour labels indicate void ratio values that were calculated using dry density values from UCS tests; (D) Specific gravity versus cement-to-solid ratio; Sr corrected labels indicate datapoints that include a weakening factor of 0.5 to take into account variable water-saturation rates (see “Data interpretation” section for how this value was determined).
