Meso and microscopic characterization of deformation bands in porous sandstones: an example on the Paleozoic, Pre- and Sin-rift sequences of the Araripe Basin, Northeast of Brazil
Deformation bands are narrow tabular volumes developed in porous sandstones. Although these structures are a product ofbrittle deformation, they may have internally a continuous displacement gradient. When granular cataclasis is the dominantdeformation mechanism, the initial properties of their host...
