These argillites havebeen collected at depth (~ 490 m) by <strong>Andra</strong>. From a palaeo-climatological point of view, these argiliteswere deposited during a cold event that lasted ~ 4 Ma within a globally warm period marked by thecarbonate platforms at the base and top of the argillitic formation. In the aim to investigate transferproperties of the material, specimens of the three main lithologies (silty, carbonate and clayey materials)are submitted to a set of combined analyses using magnetic anisotropy axis determination, mercuryinjection and ferro-fluid saturation. These data are used in a numerical model to infer permeability.PORE STRUCTUREThe preliminary magnetic anisotropy measurements point out a specific orientation of the main magneticaxis depending on the lithology and are strongly controlled by the mineral fabric (Figure 1).
