Deformation of paraffin wax to an annular shear strain of 18.0 rad /cm at outer shear zone boundary
At a 20x magnification and under cross-polarised light we observed a well developed S-C' Type cleavage with foliated microlithons (M) and C'-shear bands (1, 2, 3, 4). Strongly elongated grains define the shear bands, which are wavy, anastomosing and short. Pictures are taken with time laps of 450s
