Popis: Summary. A complex array of vertical-seismic-profiles and reflection surveys in the Taman Peninsula, Krasnodar, using geophones with inclined axes, is used to investigate shear-wave splitting in thick Maikopian clays characterised by pronounced diapirism. The shear waves split into SH (faster) and SV (slower) components and display transverse isotropy with a vertical axis of symmetry with a maximum shear-wave delay of up to 0.5 s. Within the accuracy of the observations there is no azimuthal anisotropy.
