Our understanding of folds and folding builds on detailed geometrical analysis. Proper
description of folds and their relation to other structures such as fractures, cleavage and …

Opposite shear sense (OSS) is manifested by the presence of conflicting shear sense
indicators in a portion of a rock body, a shear/fault zone or across several parallel shear/fault …

Damage zones have previously been classified in terms of their positions at fault tips, walls
or areas of linkage, with the latter being described in terms of sub-parallel and …

Volcanic and intrusive rocks with geochemical signatures typical of modern continental or
oceanic arcs are uncommon in the Archaean and the archetypal Archaean granite …

Complexly deformed rocks that exhibit refolded folds and overprinting planar fabrics are
often interpreted as the result of polyphase deformation and described in a scheme of …

Over 4.5 billion years, Earth has evolved from a molten ball to a cooler planet with large
continental plates, but how and when continents grew and plate tectonics started remain …

Abstract The Neoproterozoic-Cambrian (Brasiliano) intracontinental Patos-Pernambuco
shear system is developed in Archean to Neoproterozoic crust, reactivating rift margins N of …

Various mechanisms have been proposed for the dynamic cause and kinematic
development of gneiss domes. They include (1) diapiric flow induced by density …

The NNW-trending tectonic grain of the eastern Yilgarn Craton (EYC) was established as a
result of predominantly ENE–WSW directed extension (D1 and D3) and E (ENE)–W …

World-class mineral systems, such as those found in the Archaean eastern Yilgarn Craton,
are the product of enormous energy and mass-flux systems driven by lithospheric-scale …
