TL;DR: In this article, a continuum between syntaxial and stretching veins that form from the crack-seal process, as opposed to antitaxial veins that grow without the presence of an open fracture during growth.

TL;DR: In this article, a range of processes for vein formation, including formation of closed system fibrous veins by dissolution-precipitation creep, pressure-or kinetically dependent closed system segregation veins in which transfer of soluble components from wallrock to vein leaves behind a residual selvage, similar vein-selvage patterning, but with mass imbalances between vein and wallrock requiring fluid advection through both interconnected fracture networks and in the surrounding permeable rock.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that the formation of quartz veins at shallow crustal levels and not deeper in the crust, close to the source of metamorphic fluids where the temperature sensitivity of quartz solubility is much higher than at lower, upper-crustal temperatures, is resolved by the recognition of very fast (m/s) mobile hydrofracture ascent of batches of fluid.

TL;DR: In this article, the development of fibrous morphology and capability of fibres for tracking the opening trajectory were investigated using numerical simulations of a natural antitaxial fibrous vein, starting from a non-unique best case, variation of fracture opening velocity, grain size, wall roughness, growth anisotropy and crystal growth velocity showed that these parameters differ in importance for crystal morphology and tracking capability.

TL;DR: In this paper, a divergent double subduction model is proposed to explain the evolution of orogenic belts in the western half of the Paleozoic Lachlan fold belt (southeastern Australia) to explain wide-scale Silurian to early Carboniferous granitoid magmatism.
