Deformation Microstructures in Rocks

Study of microstructures is an indispensable component of understanding structural geology of any terrain. A number of new microscopic structures such as flanking microstructures, trapezoid-shaped mineral grains, reversal of ductile shear sense, micro-duplexes, V-pull aparts, and new minerals nu...
