Low field nuclear magnetic resonance as a potential tool for differentiating bedded and nodular cherts outcrops

This data compiles 1- and 2-D LF-NMR relaxation data of nodular and bedded cherts. Measurements were conducted on nine rock cores derived from three distinct outcrops situated in the southern KCU region. Specifically, samples were obtained from Sowiniec Horst (SB1), Ujazd (SA9, SA9!a, SA9!b, SA3, SA8), and Wielkanoc Quarry (SC1, SC2, SC4b). The measurement protocol involved assessing each sample in three water saturation states: native, dried (after 12 hours at 200°C), and saturated (after 24 hours in a vacuum at room temperature). To prevent evaporation of absorbed water, saturated samples were safeguarded with a residual amount of plastic foil (0.06 g). Furthermore, differential state (SD) distributions were obtained by subtracting raw dry sample distributions from raw saturated sample distributions. This approach specifically characterized movable water, providing insights into open porosity.
