New petrographic and microstructural observations, mineral equilibria modelling and U/Pb (monazite) geochronological studies were carried out to investigate the relationships …
High‐resolution microstructural analysis of porphyroblast inclusion trails integrated with Sm‐ Nd garnet geochronology has provided new insight into the tectonic history of the Betic‐Rif …

Polyphase folding and metamorphism of rocks in the eastern Mount Isa Inlier resulted from four distinct orogenic cycles. These consist of NE–SW shortening (O 00) from 1672 to∼ …
Thrusting from the east loaded the thick Pomfret dome stratigraphic sequence in Vermont to such an extent that by the time the first schistosity had formed it was 20km deep. This …
Abstract An∼ W–E belt of maximum bulk horizontal shortening (the orogen core) moved North relative to the overlying crust to form the Himalayan Syntaxes due to roll‐on of this …
Spiral garnet porphyroblasts are known to record lengthy periods of deformation and metamorphism by preserving single or multiple FIAs (Foliation Intersection Axis) formed …
Microscopic to mesoscopic structural investigations and foliation intersection axes (FIAs) preserved in porphyroblasts reveal a very complex history of deformation and tectonism …
Constraints from microscopic to mesoscopic structures and their relationship with the map scale macroscopic structures indicate a succession of two dominant deformation events for …
Excellent inclusion trails in a sample containing both staurolite and andalusite porphyroblasts are used to demonstrate techniques that allow the intimate relationships …
