A bstract A methodology is outlined for using general complex compliance functions—which contain the constant‐ Q case and any kind of fluid saturant as special cases—to determine the nature of that saturant from seismic reflections observed on seismic records. The important attribute of such a formulation based upon complex compliance functions is that the presence of any kind of saturant is indicated by the values of the parameters contained within the complex compliance function, the latter having the same mathematical form for all rocks under any conditions as long as it remains a crystalline solid.
