It is pointed out that the shapes created by the distortion process are characteristic, independent of the mineralogic composition. A complete gradation from plastic deformation to rupture of rigid bodies is found with distortion localized in pockets or affecting isolated individuals. It is concluded that distortion was generated during sedimentation in agitated conditions and resulted from reciprocal impacts among oolites or pseudoolites at different stages of diagenetic induration. 06 01 1961 06 01 1961 06 01 1961 262 274 10.1306/74D70B50-2B21-11D7-8648000102C1865D https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/jsedres/article/31/2/262/95538/Distorted-oolites-and-pseudoolites https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/sepm/jsedres/article-pdf/31/2/262/2803451/262.pdf https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/sepm/jsedres/article-pdf/31/2/262/2803451/262.pdf http://jsedres.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/doi/10.1306/74D70B50-2B21-11D7-8648000102C1865D
