Abstract
Texture analysis of natural rock salt and experimentally deformed halite have shown that lattice preferred orientation of halite crystals does occur. The elastic parameters for a range of halite polycrystalline aggregates are calculated using orientation distribution functions. These are used to construct seismic models which are ray-traced through to investigate the potential effects of seismic anisotropy in salt structures. Anisotropic salt models show significant variation in travel time from the isotropic salt model and large shear-wave splitting is predicted.
