Physical rock properties database
The National Rock Properties Database is comprised of two sets of data:
- In-situ borehole and core sample measurements of the following variables:
These data were collected from borehole geophysical logs and measurement of
core samples, acquired since 1980. All of these data are in the searchable database.

- Laboratory measurements of the following variables from rock samples:
- density
- acoustic velocities (Vp, Vs)
These data were acquired from measurements of rock samples collected across Canada.
The database currently contains only the data from Ontario samples. Insertion of
the remainder of the data is in progress (2006-12-12). As an interim measure, all
of these data are provided in a downloadable Excel spreadsheet or CSV file.
