United Plates of America, the birth of a craton - Early proterozoic assembly and ADS Classic is
now deprecated. It will be completely retired in October 2019. This page will automatically …

Shear zones are one of the most conspicuous structures in orogenic and rifting settings,
accommodating high strain, rock displacement and influencing magma emplacement and …

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 …

The Red River Fault zone (RRF) is the major geological discontinuity that separates South
China from Indochina. Today it corresponds to a great right-lateral fault, following for over …

New structural, petrographic, and 40Ar/39Ar data constrain the kinematics of the ASRR
(Ailao Shan‐Red River shear zone). In the XueLong Shan (XLS), geochronological data …

This paper is a structural and tectonic approach to the emplacement and deformation of
granitoids. The main methods available in structural geology are briefly reviewed and this …

The Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone of western Iran is a metamorphic belt (greenschist–amphibolite)
that was uplifted during Late Cretaceous continental collision between the Afro-Arabian …

We present a unifying theory for the development and distribution of strain markers and
kinematic indicators in zones of general shear, and thus provide a framework in which data …

Distortions of a homogeneous fabric, which occur around rigid objects in rocks deformed by
non-coaxial ductile flow are useful to determine the sense of shear, but also contain …

New structural studies and 40Ar/39Ar dating in northwest China provide information about
late Paleozoic strike‐slip motions subsequent to accretional events, which built eastern …
