Geometry of quartz boudins in marble (abstract only)

The aim of this project is to find out what caused the differences in geometry of quartz boudins in marbles. The project is focussed on the influence of the layer thickness the elastic modulus of the layer and the competence ratio (layer to matnx) on the geometry of the boudins. Samples of the Ugab and Goantagab Valley in Namibia were analysed....
