Figure 3: Stereoplots of clast macrofabric collected at key sites across the flank of the same MSGL.
From: Ice stream motion facilitated by a shallow-deforming and accreting bed
At all depths and sites the same strong fabric is evident, characterized by a NWâSE orientation and a dip angle of less than 10°. Eigenvectors are visible as stars in the main plots. Samples are progressively numbered according to their relative depth position, from the top of the diamicton (for example, T1F), close to the soilâdiamicton boundary, to the deepest portion of the diamicton reached at each trench (for example, T6F). Eighty per cent of all T, X, Y and Z S1 eigenvectors are within 121(301)Âħ18°N.
