Abstract:Cover illustration: Microstructure of naturally deformed rock salt from the Avery Island salt dome, Louisiana, U.S.A. (images contributed by C.J. Spiers).The gold-colored image (long-side scale ~0.8 mm) is a ����� light micrograph of a polished and etched section showing the internal subgrain structure within a single salt grain in the rock. The subgrains plus ��= stress vs. subgrain size relations for salt indicate that deformation involved a component of dislocation creep at a deviatoric stress around 1 MPa.… Show more
