Abstract:The present paper is written to bring to light a dichotomy that is noted in a naturally deformed rock, where the sense of shear inferred from quartz shape preferred orientation (SPO) is opposite to that deciphered from the crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO).

The vein thin section is prepared parallel to the kinem… Show more
