Cataclastic bands in immature and poorly lithified sandstone, examples from Corsica, France
Abstract Cataclastic bands with intense cataclasis formed in phyllosilicate- and clay-rich poorly lithified sandstone have been identified and characterized for the first time. This study indicates that intense cataclasis could occur at shallow...
