Northeast Queensland contains multiple slices of mafic–ultramafic units, strung out along regional faults that mark major tectonic boundaries. One such complex is the Cowley Ophiolite Complex, which situated Russell-Mulgrave Fault. The Complex a differentiated composed gabbro, chlorite schist, anthophyllite schist and serpentinite. We interpret alteration assemblages observed throughout reflect...

We present surface and structural models of a swarm dm-scale subparallel faults exposed in ∼2000 m2 glaciated outcrop near Franz Josef Glacier, the Southern Alps New Zealand. These structures are inferred to have slipped at ∼20 km depth hanging-wall Alpine Schist Fault under conditions that were variably brittle ductile as Pacific Plate was tilted uplifted. Using field mapping, real-time kinema...

We carried out geochemical and mineralogical analyses on fault-zone rocks from the Anko section of the Median Tectonic Line in Nagano Prefecture, Japan, to investigate coseismic physicochemical processes in the fault zone. The latest fault zone in the Anko section contains cataclasite, fault breccia, and fault gouge of granitic composition, and brecciated basic schist. Protoliths of the graniti...

the formation of atoll garnet in hornblende schists from the contact aureole of mashhad granite,ne iran, is discussed using textural and chemical data. these data suggest the possibility of incipientreplacement of pre-existing idioblastic garnet from the core. in addition, the presence of chlorite and calcite inthe core of atoll garnet reveal the retrograde nature of atoll formation.

Synthetic waveform modeling of the anomalous receiver functions for two stations in the eastern San Gabriel Mountains, California, suggests that a flat-topped notch structure exists on the Moho. North of the San Andreas Fault (SAF), the Moho depth is 36–38 km and is 33–35 km south of the San Gabriel Fault (SGF), but in-between under the Mt. Baldy block, it is only ∼29 km. The inferred notch str...
