From: Pliocene to Quaternary deformation in the Var Basin (Nice, SE France) and its interpretation in terms of “slow-active” faulting

Fig. 10

Deformation features of strained Pliocene pebbles giving evidence of pressure-dissolution processes. a Striated pebbles showing incrustation of quartz sand grains. b Pebble striated on all sides. c Imprinted lobes on pebble surface corresponding to the trace of former neighbouring pebbles. d Stylolithic surface inside a pebble. e Radial fractures produced at the contact with a neighbouring pebble. f Schematic interpretative sketch explaining the deformation context. See also Online Resource 2 for detailed pressure-dissolution features observed on all sides of pebbles
