Fault Breccia



I know, because I took it out of the fault, myself.

A fault along the Aliakmon below Mikroklisoura that shows ductile and brittle behavior.

The largest fragment is about 1 cm sq. Note the angular shapes and chaotic range of sizes of the clasts. The matrix seems to be re-welded serpentine / silicic material.

Odd that there's so little appearance of movement in the gauge.
