From the upper 300 m of CRP-2/2A, twenty-six samples of diamicts and deformation structures have been thin sectioned. These have been analysed for texture, structure, diagenesis and plasmic fabric. The combination of certain microstructures (e.g. turbate and linear) and plasmic fabric development is...
