Twinning of the e-plane is the dominant crystal–plastic deformation mechanism in calcite deformed below about 400° C. Calcite in a twin domain has a different crystallographic …
Abstract The Proterozoic Grenville orogeny (~ 1300–980 Ma) reactivated the Archean- hosted Kapuskasing suture in Laurentia which then propagated west and south initiating the …
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 …
Abstract The late Neoproterozoic–Cambrian interval is characterized by global-scale orogenesis, rapid continental growth and profound changes in Earth systems. Orogenic …
The onset of the Dead Sea transform has recently been reevaluated by U-Pb age-strain analyses of fault-related calcite taken from several fault strands along its main 500-km-long …

In order to investigate the relationship between rock strain and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS), strain partitioning and AMS analysis was conducted at 35 sites from two …
Abstract Along the Hikurangi Subduction Margin, accretionary prism uplift has exposed the Hungaroa fault zone, an inactive thrust developed within the Middle-to-Late Eocene …
ABSTRACT The Bighorn Basin (Wyoming, USA) contains some of the most extensively exposed and studied nonmarine early Paleogene strata in the world. Over a century of …
