Abstract

Summary

Thin sections of the plastic Ieper Group and Boom Formation clay have shown a marked heterogeneity due to layering, erosion, bioturbation and pyrite distribution. In the most clay-enriched samples, compartments delineated by primary thin fissures are present and associated small drag lines indicate small displacement. Fissures and drag lines are impregnated with early pyrite pointing to permeable pathways.
