Summary

A study in the deformational patterns of oolites from the Krol Series of the Simla Himalayas has been made in the type area. The deformation in the oolites is the result of the tectonic phenomenon coupled with folding movements during the Himalayan orogeny. The deformation varies with the amount and type of the matrix surrounding the oolites. The angle between the long axis of the ellipse and the principal tectonic extension is smallest in the axial regions of the folds.
