Figure F46. A. Binocular microscope photo of an indurated lenticular inclusion in the foliated broken formation, excavated during the interstitial water sample extraction undertaken in Section 348-C0002P-2R-3 (2176.2 mbsf). The inclusion is surrounded by scaly fabric. The arrow denotes a small fold. B. Fabric on the edge of a sand inclusion in the foliated material (position shown as inset in A). C. Fabric on the edge of a sand inclusion in the foliated material (position shown as inset in B). Note distribution of sand grain sizes and general spacing of discrete shears separating less deformed panels (position shown as inset in C). D. Spaced discrete shears and less deformed panel structure (position shown as inset in C). E. Spaced discrete shears and less deformed panel structure (position shown as inset in D). F. Asymmetric fabrics between microshear zones. Note the section is somewhat oblique to the striations on the microfault in the background.
