Abstract At least 31 low-angle (< 35° dip at the time of initiation), high-displacement (> 1 km)
Cenozoic normal faults are identified on seismic reflection data onshore and offshore …

We investigated quartzite flow laws based on data from 21 different experimental studies on
samples deformed with added water at temperatures from 700 to 1200° C. Two clear trends …

In the Gran Paradiso metagranodiorite (Western Alps) small scale lower amphibolite facies
shear zones record the transition from a mylonite composed of polycrystalline mineral …

Calibrations have been developed for the molten salt cell and solid salt assemblies used in
tri-axial Griggs-type piston-cylinder deformation apparatus (Griggs apparatus) that enable …

Experimental deformation experiments have been conducted on fine‐grained, two‐phase
aggregates of olivine and orthopyroxene to investigate the role of grain and phase boundary …

We conducted general shear experiments on synthetic mixtures of quartz and muscovite
aggregates at 800° C and 1.5 GPa with 0.1 wt.% H 2 O added in the Griggs apparatus to …

The mechanisms responsible for the formation of extremely thinned continental crust (< 10
km thick) and lithosphere during rifting remains debated. Observations from present-day and …

The mechanical properties of the lower continental crust are intimately related to the
rheology of calcic clinoamphibole. Naturally deformed clinoamphibole typically shows brittle …

Deformation in Earth's lithosphere is localised in narrow, high-strain zones. Phyllosilicates,
strongly anisotropic layered minerals, are abundant in these rocks, where they …

Microstructures associated with cataclasites and mylonites in the Red River shear zone in
the Diancang Shan block, Yunnan Province, China show evidence for both reaction …
