Techniques for determining a geologic property of a rock sample include (i) measuring, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a volume of a fluid retained within a solid matrix of a processed rock sample; (ii) measuring, using a gas porosimeter, a volume of gas space of the processed rock sample; (iii) measuring, with an Archimedes assembly, a first mass value in air of the processed rock sample and a second mass value in a liquid of the processed rock sample; and (iv) determining, based at least on the measured volume of the fluid, the measured volume of the gas space, and the measured first and second mass values, at least one of a bulk volume, a bulk density, a grain density, or a porosity of the processed rock sample.
