A quantitative microstructural study of the deformation of flexible sandstone confirms the “loose‐grain” model of the deformation behavior of this composite material. The study demonstrated the contribution of the micα‐quartz intergrowth to the bonding and confirmed that the role of mica in the flexibility of the composite is negligible. The microstructural evidence indicates that the quartz‐mica bond must have resulted from in situ growth of mica simultaneously with growth of quartz grains.
