“…In L-type CPOs, the c-axes of omphacite show well defined clusters near the stretching lineation, the b-axes a girdle distribution perpendicular to the foliation plane. Both fabrics have been described from several (U)HP units by numerous authors (e.g., Buatier et al, 1991;Boundy et al, 1992;Philippot and van Roermund, 1992;Godard and van Roermund, 1995;Abalos, 1997;Mauler et al, 1998Mauler et al, , 2000Mauler et al, , 2001Mauler, 2000;Jin et al, 2001;Piepenbreier and Sto¨ckhert, 2001;Bascou et al, 2001Bascou et al, , 2002Brenker et al, 2002;Ji et al, 2003). Moreover, L-and transitional LS-type fabrics have been simulated by Bascou et al (2001Bascou et al ( , 2002 by viscoplastic self-consistent modeling, both for simple shear and pure shear, and transtension as well.…”
