Fig. 9From: The dynamic evolution of compaction bands in highly porous carbonates: the role of local heterogeneity for nucleation and propagationTwo selected 2D tomography image windows a 310 voxels × 230 voxels and 3.90 mm × 2.92 mm, and b 300 voxels × 193 voxels and 3.77 mm × 2.43 mm from XY plane of sample MG-5b at scan 3 and scan 4 shows the collapse of macropores. The figure on the left shows the 3D volume rendering of the tomography image and the red line indicates the layer of the chosen window. The weaker structure of the fossil shells which is shown by the dashed boxes is broken into several angular fragments and crushed calcite powder filled the pore spaceBack to article page
