Sedimentary structures are clearly to faintly recognized with X-ray images, implying that sedimentary rocks (sandstone, siltstone, and shale) retain density contrasts despite decreases in porosity caused by compaction. X-ray imaging is efficient for observing partial sedimentary and postsedimentation structures. However, carbonate rocks tend to be unsuitable for X-ray imaging and observation because whole-core cementation often masks density contrasts, rendering homogeneous sedimentary structures. Overlap of high-angle structures often prevents clear two-dimensional imaging. X-ray CT scanning is a powerful tool that can image structures in sedimentary rock core samples before they are split. Constructing an efficient X-ray CT imaging methodology to be used during the time constraining the core description process is required.completedSedimentary petrologyAtlantic OceanCanadacementationclastic rockscomputed tomographyconcretionscontinental margincoresdiagenesisEastern CanadaFlemish CapGrand BanksimagerylaminationsLeg 210NewfoundlandNewfoundland and LabradorNorth AtlanticNorthwest AtlanticOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 1276planar bedding structuressecondary structuressedimentary rockssedimentary structuressoft sediment deformationtomographyX-ray dataurn:org.iodp:exp:210urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:210:site:1276urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:210urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-44.4700-44.470045.240045.2400application/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogue
