Abstract
⺠We numerically model clast SPOs in several flow types using published analytic solutions. ⺠We examine effects of variable finite strain and flow vorticity on clast SPO. ⺠Our model predicts distinct flows may produce equivocal clast orientation distributions. ⺠Clast-based methods should not be used as sole vorticity gauge in natural mylonites.
