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 …

Several examples of deformation‐induced myrmekite have been found in two amphibolite
facies mylonites derived from granitic protoliths, namely a muscovite‐poor S‐C mylonite and …

Illite crystallinity (IC) and other indicators of the grade of very‐low‐grade metamorphism
associated with the appearance of various stages of slaty cleavage in phyllosilicate‐rich …

Low-temperature deformation is characterized by heterogeneous strain in which the bulk of
the material clearly retains its primary texture. Deformation is by grain-scale crystal plasticity …

Slates are low-grade metamorphic argillaceous rocks which have developed an intense
tectonic fabric, referred to as slaty cleavage. Due to their unique properties they have long …

Magnetic fabrics from rocks with multiple mineral-preferred orientations may have anisotropy
ellipsoids whose shape and orientation arise from the addition of two or more component …

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) measurements of the thickness
of white mica crystallites were made on three pelite samples that represented a prograde …

Abstract We report Rbsingle bondSr, Smsingle bondNd and mineralogical data for leached
whole rock,< 2 μm and< 0.1 μm clay size fractions of lower-to mid-Tertiary shales spanning …

The most significant minerals in low-grade pelitic rocks—mudstones, shales, and slates—
are clay minerals. This important group of rocks was terra incognita until the advent of …

Sediments from depths to 670 m in the Barbados accretionary complex and transecting the
décollement zone have been studied by transmission and analytical electron microscopy …
