Table 2.

Overview of all volume properties, transport properties, and elastic moduli as determined by laboratory measurements, numerical estimations, and theoretical estimations for reticulite samples. Numerical and theoretical estimations were performed for indicated low- and high-resolution XRCT-scans (see text for discussion).
