are shownin Figure 2. The upperpart of the figure showsthe P-wave signalsas recorded

definethe travel-times.As mentionedabove,the FZC velocityis assumedto representthe
phasevelocityof the dominantfrequencyin the receivedsignal(Rathoreet al., 1993). The
velocityanisotropycoefficientAv for the threewaves,calculatedaccordingto equation(1),
is presentedin Table 1.

The resultspresentedso far were obtainedfrom measurements performedwith a 100
kHz excitationpulse.AdditionalP-wave measurements were performedon the dry sample
with 250 kHz and500 kHz excitationpulses,respectively.For the measurements
