Because of the very small size of the floe, the numerous clay particles which build the floe are ex- tremely small. The floes appear to be built of numerous clay particles arranged in an edge-to-face structure at oblique angles resulting in the relatively high intravoids (fig. 43EM). Close examination of the photomicrographs indi- cates that the floes appear to be somewhat compressed pos- sibly due to the process of consolidation and in situ over- burden pressure. The important features of sample 163A, however, is the highly complex fabric of floes, link- ing chains, and zeolitic aggregates structured to form a high void ratio (high-porosity) clay sediment in the relatively undisturbed state. These features show a strong contrast to the fabrics observed in the remolded (disturbed) samples. sample (remolded) The remolded 163A sample reveals a strikingly different fabric than observed in the photomicrographs of the undisturbed sample. Clearly, the highly complex fabric characteristic of the undisturbed sediment is completely de- stroyed in the remolded material (fig. 44EM-A). Floes and linking chains are broken down to form well identifiable domains of essentially face-to-face platelets arranged in a random orientation. The overall high void ratio is main-.
