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. Thirteen pictures separated by time steps of 4 minutes were used for analysing the movement of 100 markers and the strain ratio distribution (Rf) (Movie 4). The Rf distribution reflects the S-C'type cleavage in paraffin wax.
