Abstract
Scanning electron microscope pictures of thin sections of sedimentary rocks have been digitized, and their pore space geometry analysed usin g multifractal statistics. It is observed that such analysis can lead to characterization of different sedimentological environments. In par ticular it is shown that the information dimension D(1) of the multifr actal spectrum of the pore space is correlated to air permeability val ues measured from the corresponding core samples.
