•The anisotropic solution is a good
predictor of other coherent arrivals.
The isotropic solution is not.
•Conclusion: The shales are
anisotropic.

• Vertical and horizontal direct time derivatives yield phase slowness crossplot, fitting yields moduli
• Assumptions about overburden simplicityApparent Slowness + polarization method (de Parscau and Nicoletis, 1987; Hsu and Schoenberg, 1989; Horne and Leaney, 2000)
• Extraction of Sv and reflected parameters required picking
• Parametric waveform inversion (Leaney and Esmersoy, 1989) and downhole tools with sufficient vector fidelity have made it a commercially viable method.
