Small Shear Wave Splitting Delays Suggest Weak Anisotropy in Cratonic Mantle Lithosphere

Abstract We use splitting in core‐refracted teleseismic shear waves (SKS, PKS, and similar) to investigate anisotropic properties of the upper mantle beneath the Superior craton in eastern North America and the Yilgarn craton in Western Australia. At four sites in each craton, we assemble extensive...
