Crystallographic fabrics in olivine-rich rocks provide critical information on conditions and
mechanisms of deformation as well as seismic properties of Earthʼs upper mantle. Previous …

To investigate the mechanism that produces the crystallographic preferred orientations
(CPO) characteristic of sheared partially molten rocks of mantle composition, we analyzed …

Xenotime rare-earth orthophosphates were made with compositions close to the xenotime–
monazite phase boundary. Stress-driven phase transformations and their associated …

Field observations of mafic dykes intruded into felsic rocks from the Lewisian Complex, NW
Scotland, suggest that the mafic rocks are weaker than the felsic ones, contrary to …

Since hydrogen plays an important role in dynamic processes in Earth's mantle, we
conducted torsion experiments to shear strains of 0.6 to 5.0 on Fe‐bearing olivine …

Abstract The Anita Peridotite, in southwestern New Zealand, is a∼ 1× 20 km ultramafic
massif that was rapidly extruded from beneath a Cretaceous arc within the 4 km wide …

A deformed layered gabbro and a mylonitic gabbro sample from the marginal shear zone of
the Neyriz mantle diapir in Iran were analyzed using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) …

Dehydration reactions have important effects on fluid flow, pore pressure and brittle failure in
the Earth. The rates and mechanisms of reaction are relevant to understanding those effects …

Abstract The Lesina Marina village (Apulia, southern Italy) lies on an exotic rocky body
basically composed of Triassic gypsum surrounded and covered by thin Quaternary sandy …

Abstract Knowledge of the strengths of the individual dislocation slip systems in olivine is
fundamental to understanding the flow behavior and the development of lattice-preferred …
