Two VSPs have been analysed from the Kola superdeep borehole, located on the Kola Peninsula. The Kola borehole was drilled down to a depth of 12 260 m and VSPs were recorded in the interval 2150 to 6000 m. The VSPs sample the Proterozoic Pechenga complex, which consists of alternating metasedimentar...
