We formulated new empirical relations for the velocities Vp and Vs in these media which take into account the porosity and clay contents. These relations are Vp=5.57 - 6.47ø - 2.27C1 ø and Vx=3.41 - 4.44ø - 2.23C1 ø, and can be used to compute velocitiesfor various porosities and clay contents. The result compare favourably with those of other works. "enArticle
