Tectonic Transport Directions, Shear Senses and Deformation Temperatures Indicated by Quartz c-Axis Fabrics and Microstructures in a NW-SE Transect across the Moine and Sgurr Beag Thrust Sheets, Caledonian Orogen of Northern Scotland

چکیده
Moine metasedimentary rocks of northern Scotland are characterized by arcuate map patterns mineral lineations that swing progressively clockwise from orogen-perpendicular E-trending in greenschist facies mylonites above the thrust on foreland edge Caledonian Orogen, to S-trending at higher structural levels and metamorphic grades hinterland. Quartz c-axis fabrics measured a west east coast transect demonstrate developed parallel maximum principal extension direction therefore track local tectonic transport direction. Microstructures document progressive change top N shearing hinterland W edge. Field relationships indicate domain was least 55 km wide before later horizontal shortening km-scale W-vergent folds detach underlying thrust. Previously published data had largely ceased 430 Ma, while preliminary isotopic age suggest occurred ~470–450 Ma. In addition, end our normal-sense down-SE close peak temperatures ~420 Ma may be related closing stages Scandian deformation, metamorphism cooling/exhumation.

Kinematics of Transpressional Deformation Zones in the Urmia Fault Zone, Northwest Iran
Metamorphic and various intrusive rocks in the Urmia area are located in a transpressed active continental margin. These complexes in the Zagros orogen were deformed during an oblique convergence scenario between the Arabian and Sanandaj–Sirjan blocks in NW Iran. The Urmia area contains both NW-SE striking dextral strike-slip and SW verging NE dipping ductile reverse shear fabrics. Ductile shea...

The Zahri granitoid body has intruded into the Late Cretaceous ophiolitic rocks syn-tectonically. This granitoid with NW–SE general trend was emplaced along the terminations of Nehbandan shear system in the northern Sistan suture zone during the Early Eocene. Development of magmatic to low temperature solid-state fabrics have shown the progressive deformation with decreasing melt content during...
