4.3  Deformation of Paraffin wax to an annular shear strain of 18

At progressive deformation and a magnification of 20x in cross- polarised light (Movie 4) a S-C' Type cleavage is now well developed with foliated microlithons (M) and C'-shear bands. Strongly elongated grains define the shear bands, which are wavy, anastomosing and short. The shear bands (Movie 4) were not > all active at the same time. First the shear bands 1, 2, 3 were activated and with progressive deformation, the movement around the S-C' cleavage was concentrated along shear band 4. Microlithons have an asymmetric shape and rotated with development of a sigmadoidal shape foliation (s) between the shear bands (C'). In the microlithon core the foliation is less intensive as inside the shear bands (C').
