4. Photomicrograph of ooid limestone.  Grainsare 0.5-1 mm in size.  Large grain in center shows well developed concentric calcite layers.

5. Thin section (transmitted light) of deformed oolitic limestone, Swiss Alps. The approximate principal extension (red) and principal shortening directions (yellow) are indicated. The ooids are not perfectly elliptical because the original ooids were not perfectly spherical and because compositional differences led to heterogeneous strain. The elongated ooids define a crude foliation subperpendicular to the principal shortening direction. Photo credit: John Ramsay. http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~schlisch/structureslides/oolite.html

6. Deformed Ordovian trilobite. Deformed samples such as this provide valuable strain markers.Since we know the shape of an undeformed trilobite of this species, we can compare that to this deformed specimen and quantify the amount and style of strain in the rock.
