TLDR
In this paper, the development of a stable c-axis fabric pattern in quartz-mylonites from the Cap de Creus shear zones is summarized and the subsequent effects of fold development on these fabrics is analyzed in more detail.About:

S-C Mylonites
Gordon S. Lister,A.W. Snoke +1 more
TL;DR: Berthe et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed two types of foliations in mylonites and mylonitic rocks: (a) S-surfaces related to the accumulation of finite strain and (b) C-surface related to displacement discontinuities or zones of relatively high shear strain.

Shear zone geometry: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors classified brittle, brittle-ductile, and ductile shear zones into three classes: brittle, ductile and polygonal shear regions, and established the geometry and displacement boundary conditions of these zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
On mylonites in ductile shear zones
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of mylonite microstructures and fabrics are discussed from this point of view and seven possible softening processes are discussed: superplasticity, geometrical softening, continual recrystallization, reaction softening and chemical softening.

Development of sheath folds in shear regimes
P.R. Cobbold,H. Quinquis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of three-dimensional fold shapes in shear regimes is studied using theoretical and experimental methods and with reference to natural examples, and three models are presented for their development, two invoking flow with steady stream lines, the third involving unsteadiness accompanying boudinage.

Strain variation in shear belts
John G. Ramsay,R. H. Graham +1 more
TL;DR: In rocks deformed by natural orogenic processes, it is usual to find that the finite strain state varies from locality to locality as mentioned in this paper, and in some deformed rocks high strain states are localized within app...

Development of internal structures in deformed anisotropic rocks
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior during deformation of composite foliated rocks is discussed in terms of the "average" rheological properties of the rock, not the properties of individual components.
