compaction band A 5 mm A‘ compaction band compaction band depositional bedding Figure 5.4. Representative thin section of a tabular compaction band in the Aztec sandstone. White grains are quartz, brown grains are stained feldspar, black grains are iron oxide, blue is epoxy-filled porosity. Photo inset (upper left) shows the sample core from which the thin section was made. Transects A-A’ and B-B’ (normal to bedding) pertain to the calculations shown in Figure 5.8. 132 B B‘
