Abstract:Ultramylonites are among the most extreme fault rocks that commonly occur in the mid-crustal brittle–plastic transition and are mainly characterized by intensely sheared fine-grained microstructures and well-mixed mineral phases. Although the deformation mechanism of ultramylonites is key to understanding the rheological behavior of the mid-crustal shear zone, their microstructural development is still controversial owing to their intensely fine-grained textures. To investigate the possible crustal deformation… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
