<p>Stylolites are rough surfaces that form by localized stress-induced dissolution. Using a set of limestone rock samples collected at different depths from a vertical section in Cirque de Navacelles (France), in this paper is studied the influence of the ...

Heating during frictional sliding is a major component of the energy budget of earthquakes and represents a potential weakening mechanism. It is therefore important to investigate how heat dissipates during sliding on simulated faults. They are presented results ...

<p>The objective of the work described in this paper is to quantify the intricate three-dimensional topography of stylolites. For this purpose are collected twelve sedimentary bed-parallel stylolites in limestones.</p>
