Abstract
From the breadth of a wavelet for a given travel time, it is possible to calculate the viscosity of the formation through which the seismic disturbance has passed. This calculation has been carried out for the Cretaceous Shale of Eastern Colorado, and the value thus found ranges from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text], with a mean value of [Formula: see text] grams per cm. per second.Keywords
