Nontrivial geometrical effects in relativistic central collisions of deformed nuclei are studied using a simple version of the optical Glauber model. For very small impact parameters, large centrality and eccentricity fluctuations are observed. In very high-multiplicity collisions of oblate nuclei, a significant fraction of events with nonzero elliptic-flow strength υ 2 proportional to oblateness parameter −β 2 is predicted.
