The influence of grain boundary fluids on the microstructure of quartz-feldspar mylonites
TLDR
In this paper, the microstructure of pegmatite mylonites from the Simplon Fault Zone in the central Alps has been studied and shown to have similar properties to those of quartz-rich amphibolite facies.About:

A Practical Guide to Rock Microstructure
TL;DR: In this article, a glossary of microstructural terms for sedimentary and metamorphic rocks is presented, along with a discussion of the relationship between sedimentary, igneous and deformed rocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deformation thermometry based on quartz c-axis fabrics and recrystallization microstructures: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of these thermometers is reviewed, and their potential sensitivities to competing factors such as temperature, strain rate, water weakening and (in the case of opening-angles) 3D strain type are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shear zones – A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a combination of detailed field observations and numerical modeling to estimate the bulk deformation type for a composite shear zone or shear-zone network.

40Ar/39Ar dating of strike-slip motion on the Tan–Lu fault zone, East China
TL;DR: In this paper, the sinistral ductile shear belts in the southern part of the Tan-Lu fault zone, East China are exposed along the eastern edge of the northern Dabie belt and southern Zhangbaling belt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sinistral to Normal Faulting along the Tan‐Lu Fault Zone: Evidence for Geodynamic Switching of the East China Continental Margin
TL;DR: The Tan-Lu fault zone (TLFZ) along the East China continental margin (ECCM) experienced a change from sinistral to normal faulting in the late Mesozoic as discussed by the authors.

Petrogenesis of metamorphic rocks
TL;DR: In this paper, the four divisions of metamorphic grade are defined: very low grade, medium grade, high grade and low grade metamorphism, and the change from low grade to medium grade to high grade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strength of the lithosphere: Constraints imposed by laboratory experiments
TL;DR: The concept of strength envelopes, developed in the 1970s, allowed quantitative predictions of the strength of the lithosphere based on experimentally determined constitutive equations as mentioned in this paper, which can be applied to understand a broad range of topical problems in regional and global tectonics both on the Earth and on other planetary bodies.

The eastern Tonale fault zone: a ‘natural laboratory’ for crystal plastic deformation of quartz over a temperature range from 250 to 700 °C
TL;DR: In this paper, a temperature gradient from ∼250 to ∼700°C was determined across the Tonale fault zone using critical syn-kinematic mineral assemblages from the metasedimentary host rocks surrounding deformed quartz veins.

Orthogneiss, mylonite and non coaxial deformation of granites: the example of the South Armorican Shear Zone
TL;DR: In this article, the deformation of two granitic massifs along a dextral wrench fault zone (the South Armorican Shear Zone) is examined at the sample and grain scales.
