In this brief introductory review the potential geological use of crystallographic fabrics is
illustrated by considering selected geological problems which, given appropriate conditions …

Microtectonics deals with the interpretation of microstructures, small-scale deformation
structures in rocks that yield abundant information on the history and type of deformation and …

Subduction-accretion complexes can be approximated as wedge-shaped continua with a
rigid buttress behind and a subducting litho-spheric slab beneath. Thick wedges undergoing …

The results of a complete fabric analysis based on naturally deformed quartzites suggest
that slip in the crystallographic (a) direction dominates over other possible slip directions …

Two types of foliations are commonly developed in mylonites and mylonitic rocks:(a) S-
surfaces related to the accumulation of finite strain and (b) C-surfaces related to …

The southern margin of the Iberian continent comprises a complex geological history, which
can be traced back into the Proterozoic when a gneissic basement was formed. A cover of …

Towards the top of the Main Central Sheet in southern Tibet (China) leucogranites intrude
metamorphic rocks related to rocks of the Main Central Thrust in the Himalayas. Our study …

This book is a systematic guide to the recognition and interpretation of deformation
microstructures and mechanisms in minerals and rocks at the scale of a thin section …

Strong quartz crystallographic preferred orientations (CPOs) were developed during
dislocation creep in the mylonite zone exposed in the hanging wall of the dextral reverse …

The Betic Cordillera of southern Spain provides a clear example of a collisional orogen that
has undergone large‐scale extensional collapse while convergent motion of the bounding …
