Abstract
Summary: Dry starch-flour provides a light, suitably cohesive material in which slip structures can be produced. These resemble slickensides and offer some insight into one of the possible processes whereby structures occurring on natural slickensides may be produced. Steps consistently face against the movement direction. They form by the partial disintegration of temporarily coherent lumps dragged along the surface.Keywords
