A framework of microtectonics studies -- Flow and deformation -- Deformation mechanisms -- Foliations, lineations and lattice preferred orientation -- Shear zones -- Dilatation sites -- veins, strain, shadows, fringes and boudins -- Porphyroblasts and reaction rims -- Primary structures -- Natural microguages -- Special techniques -- Experimental modelling techniques -- From sample to section |
| Summary |
Microtectonics is the interpretation of small-scale deformation structures in rocks. They are studied by optical microscope and contain abundant information on the history and type of deformation and metamorphism in a rock and are therefore used by most geologists to obtain data for large-scale geological interpretations. This advanced textbook contains a large number of photographs and explanatory drawings, special chapters on related techniques, a chapter on microgauges and a simple, non-mathematical treatment of continuum mechanics with practical examples. Special terms are explained in boxes. This textbook is suited for independent use during optical studies on microstructures as a reference manual and as a manual for short courses |
