Abstract
⺠Seismic properties of Longmen Shan complex where the Wenchuan earthquake occurred. ⺠Variations of anisotropy with pressure indicate the microcrack preferred orientation. ⺠The crust consists of 4 layers with the dominant felsic composition (~ 80%). ⺠An accurate estimate yields Mw7.9-8.0 for the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake.
