title: Seismic Velocity Data, Appendix A data for "A reference Earth model for the heat producing elements and associated geoneutrino flux"

description: This dataset is a compilation of laboratory ultrasonic measurements for seismic velocity of different natural rocks. The goal of this compilation is to compare laboratory measured seismic velocities with in situ geophysical observations, and to link seismic velocities with chemical composition. Rock type, density, SiO2 content and some mineralogy information of samples are also included.
