Dear all,
I'm intending to find any estimate on the experimentally-derived,
steady-state creep parameters for fine-grained sediments, like shale, mud,
or clay-rich sedimentary rocks. Most of the published creep parameters
correspond with "hard" rocks, and make possible to model the ductile yield
strength of the continental crust; but what about the ductile rheology
envelope in the deep levels of thick sedimentary basins?
Waiting your responses. All the best,
Juan I. Soto
