Abstract
► Examined microstructures of cm-scale faults in unlithified sands, silts and clays. ► Recognised two primary deformation mechanisms; granular shearing and cataclasis. ► Different shear band architectures are related to different deformation mechanisms. ► Deformation mechanisms and structures may relate to burial depth during faulting.
