Δ Objects as a Gauge for Stress Sensitivity of Strain Rate in Mylonites (original) (raw)

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1993

Abstract

Abstract Our understanding of the flow properties of deforming rocks in the Earth's lithosphere is mainly based on theoretical work and on the extrapolation of high-strain-rate experimental data to the low strain rates of rock deformation in nature. The geometry of structures in naturally deformed rocks can be an additional source of information on the rheology of the lithosphere. Flow experiments show that the geometry of a mantle of recrystallised material around a rigid object can be used to distinguish between a linear or ...
