Table 3 Summary of intrinsic seismic velocities (m/s) for compressional- V\(_{{\text {p0}}}\), and and shear-waves V\(_{\text {s0}}\), anisotropy (%) for compressional- (AV\(_{\text {p}}\)) and shear-waves (AV\(_{\text{ s }}\)), Thomsen parameters \(\epsilon\) and \(\gamma\), and \(\textit{V}_{\text {p}}{} \textit{V}_{\text {s}}\) ratio
