southern Omineca Belt, fieldwork was undertaken in 1987 to examine the geology of the Eagle River fault in the eastem Shuswap Highland. The Eagle River fault is a west-sidedown low-angle normal fault that juxtaposes low to mediumgrade metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Paleozoic Mount Ida Group atop high-grade gneisses of the Shuswap metamorphic complex (Figure 1-4-1 inset). Regional...

U-Pb and Ar/Ar dates from the Talladega belt, southernmost Appalachians, provide insight into the timing and nature of pre-Alleghanian tectonism in this region. Low-grade metasedimentary rocks of the Talladega belt represent the outermost preserved portions of the southern Laurentian margin, thus recording the earliest orogenic events that affected the margin, in addition to later overprinting ...

the chadegan metamorphic complex is a wnw-ese- trending antiformal structure located in sanandaj-sirjan structural zone, iran.the inner core of the structure is made of orthogneiss, containing eclogitic lenses. schists and marbles lie structurally above theorthogneiss and crop out in the external limbs of the antiformal dome. two main deformational episodes have been documented in theschists an...

Fieldand petrographic studies of the Paleozoic metamorphic rocks of New York City suggest a new interpretation of the stratigraphy and structure of the region and has delineated a number of ductileand brittle faults. The belt of rocks originally lumped together as the Manhattan Schist is now interpreted to consist of three mappable units structurally imbricated by two major ductile faults, the ...

Several relatively thin tectono-metamorphic slices have been recognized in the Cycladic eclogite– blueschist belt, through detailed studies on Ios, Sifnos, Syros, and Tinos. A sequence of distinct metamorphic mineral growth events has been documented. These recur in each tectonic slice, although individual slices are dominated by different events. To constrain the timing of these processes, the...

Kuh-E-Faryadoon and Kouli Kosh iron deposits are hosted by regional metamorphic rocks of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone around Deh-Bid area. Plugs and domes of acid rocks protrude these metamorphic rocks. A mylonitization event is super imposed on acid rock and metamorphic complexes. Field, petrological and geochemical studies have shown that (1) Iron mineralization have occurred during mylonitization in...
