Compression and extension axes are deduced from quartz deformation lamellae in a quartzite and a graywacke folded into an asymetrical syncline. Deformation lamellae fabrics in the two sandstones are distinctly different. In the graywacke, regardless of bedding orientation or position on the fold, compression axes are normal or nearly normal to the axial planar rough cleavage. Extension axes generally lie in the cleavage plane, parallel to dip. In most quartzite samples, compression axes are parallel or subparallel to bedding, at high angles to the fold axis and extension axes are normal to bedding. Two samples from the very base of the formation indicate compression parallel to the fold axis with extension parallel to bedding, at high angles to the fold axis. One of these two shows both patterns. The lamellae fabric geometry in these two samples suggests the presence of a neutral surface in the quartzite. The lamellae-derived compression and extension axes are in good agreement with the buckling behavior of a viscous layer (quartzite) embedded in a less viscous medium (graywacke and shale below and shale and carbonate above). 相似文献

A deformation history, comprised of six separate deformation events of differing intensity, has affected the rocks of the South Palmer River region of the the Hodgkinson Province, north Queensland. Within this region, a zone of pervasive slaty cleavage, herein termed the Fiery Creek Slate Belt, has developed as a result of the superposition of fabrics formed during several of these events. The most important processes in the formation of this composite cleavage were the re-use and reactivation of the favourably oriented, steep, N-S-trending S2 foliation by the intense fourth deformation event, D4. This produced micro-, meso- and macroscopic folds in an originally shallow S3 foliation, produced during the intervening D3 deformation, with an axial planar S2–S4 foliation. The D4 stretching lineation, L44, plunges subvertically to steeply north and indicates that shear during D4 was oriented steeply north-south. In the Fiery Creek Slate Belt, D2 fold axes are interpreted to have formed in much shallower orientations than their present moderately N-S-plunging to subvertical orientations. We consider this to be a result of D4 shear, which caused variable degrees of rotation of D2 fold axes toward the D4 stretching lineation due to subparallelism of the bulk shortening directions of the D2 and D4 events. Near-total destruction of the pre-D4 foliations during slaty cleavage formation has produced a misleading impression of a simple deformation history. There is no relationship between metamorphic grade and intensity of slaty cleavage development. 相似文献

Bending anisotropy: A mechanical constraint on the orientation of fold axes in an anisotropic medium
Bending anisotropy is the property of a layer of material whereby it bends more easily in some directions than it does in others. In macroscopically homogeneous layers, bending anisotropy results from the material itself being rheologically anisotropic in the plane of the layering.In this paper we investigate bending anisotropy in materials with orthorhombic symmetry and linear elastic or viscous behaviour. Although such models are rheologically simple, we believe they may provide a first approximation to the behaviour of some tectonites with linear and planar fabrics. Thus we predict that in rocks with strong linear fabrics, folds will form with axes nearly parallel to the linear fabrics, for a variety of different stress fields. This has important geological consequences. 相似文献

The flow pattern within a slump in Permian marine rocks of the southern Sydney Basin, Australia, is recorded by folds and deformed fossils. Abundant brachiopod and bryzoan fossils in the slumped rocks are relatively undeformed, but fossil crinoid stems have been deformed by relative rotation of individual ossicles. Measurement of the strain indicates that the deformation of the crinoids is consistent with flexural flow folding within the slump. Previous models assume that curved slump fold axes remain parallel to the enveloping bedding surface of a slump sheet. Detailed measurements of the orientation of slump folds in this study found fold axes to be oblique to bedding, which is interpreted as a result of folds plunging downward towards the flanks of the slump or slump lobes. In the present model, fold axes are not generally parallel to the strike of the fold axial surface, and this can explain differences between the orientations of slump fold axes and axial surfaces when these are used as directional indicators of slump movement. 相似文献

Study of rotational inclusion fabrics in garnet porphyroblasts demonstrates that angles of rotation are dependent not only on the amounts of strain suffered by the host rocks but also on porphyroblast shape: near-spherical crystals suffer considerably more rotation than discoidal for a given amount of strain. Angles ranging from 160° to 0° have been measured but rotation took place during two distinct phases of deformation each associated with the formation of folds and attendant axial planar fabrics.The rotational inclusion fabrics permit a study to be made of the geometry and state of strain around two minor folds and thus suggest that the main mechanism of fold development was flexural flow. The differences in the amounts of strain, as recorded by rotational inclusion fabrics, around the two folds further suggest that there was unequal limb rotation during fold development and that the maximum compressive stress lay obliquely to the layering at the onset of folding. 相似文献

Boudins with long axes (BA) oriented subnormal to bedding and to associated fold axes are observed in folded rocks in a thrust sheet exposed near the base of a regionally extensive allochthon in west-central Nevada, USA. Formation of the boudins is related to development of a regional fold-set coeval with major thrusting. The axes of boudins lie at a high angle to bedding, and in some instances, boudins define tight to isoclinal folds which are geometrically associated with the regional deformation. Quartz c-axis fabrics from oriented thin-sections of the boudins indicate extension parallel to the boudin axes (BA).
These relations and other mesoscopic structural data indicate a complex deformational history for boudin development. The history involves thin layers (to become boudins) deformed in folds disharmonic to major structures within the thrust sheet followed by flattening and associated extension parallel to fold axes. During flattening, arcuation occurred within the deforming mass resulting in rotation of fold axes and boudin axes (BA) toward the axis of finite extension (X). Extension parallel to BA recorded in the petrofabrics of boudins records incremental strain axes oriented at a high angle (50°) to the finite X and is probably related to an early plane-strain state associated with disharmonic folding. The finite extension (X) is down-dip in axial planes of major folds formed during thrusting and indicates a northwest to southeast transport for the thrusts. 相似文献

The banded iron-formation in the southeastern Bababudan Hills display a macroscopic synformal bend gently plunging towards
WNW. The bedding planes in smaller individual sectors show a cylindrical or conical pattern of folding. The dominant set of
minor folds has WNW-ESE trending axial planes and the axes plunge towards WNW at gentle to moderate angles, though there is
considerable variation in orientation of both axes and axial planes. A later set of sporadically observed folds has N-S trending
axial planes. The macroscopic synformal bend within the study area forms the southeastern corner of a horseshoe shaped regional
synformal fold closure which encompasses the entire Bababudan range.
The minor folds are buckle folds modified to a varying extent by flattening. In some examples the quartzose layers appear
to be more competent than the ferruginous layers; in others the reverse is true. The folds are frequently noncylindrical and
the axes show curvature with branching and en echelon patterns. Such patterns are interpreted to be the result of complex
linking of progressively growing folds whose initiation is controlled by the presence of original perturbations in the layers.
Domes and basins have at places developed as a result of shortening along two perpendicular directions in a constrictional
type of strain. Development of folds at different stages of progressive deformation has given rise to nonparallelism of fold
axes and axial planes. The axes and axial planes of smaller folds developed on the limbs of a larger fold are often oriented
oblique to those of the latter. Progressive deformation has caused rotation and bending of axial planes of earlier formed
folds by those developed at later stages of the same deformational episode. Coaxial recumbent to nearly reclined fold locally
encountered on the N-S limb of the macroscopic fold may belong to an earlier episode of deformation or to the early stage
of the main deformation episode.
The E-W to ESE-WNW strike of axial plane of the regional fold system in the Bababudan belt contrasts with the N-S to NNW-SSE
strike of axial planes of the main fold system in the Chitradurga and other schist belts of Karnataka. 相似文献

Compared to felsic igneous rocks the genetic relationship between brittle and ductile fabric development and its influence on the geometry of deformed mafic melt sheets has received little attention in structural analyses. We explore these relationships using the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) as an example. The SIC is the relic of a layered impact melt sheet that was transformed into a fold basin, the Sudbury Basin, during Paleoproterozoic deformation at the southern margin of the Archean Superior Province. We studied brittle and ductile strain fabrics on the outcrop and map scales in the southern Sudbury Basin, notably in the Norite and Quartz Gabbro layers of the SIC. Here, deformation is heterogeneous and occurred under variable rheological conditions, evident by the development of brittle shear fractures, brittle-ductile shear zones and pervasive ductile strain. The mineral fabrics formed under low- to middle greenschist-facies metamorphism, whereby brittle deformation caused hydrolytic weakening and ductile fabric development. Principal strain axes inferred from all structural elements are collinear and point to a single deformation regime that led to thinning of SIC layers during progressive deformation. Ductile fabric development profoundly influenced the orientation of SIC material planes, such as lithological contacts and magmatic mineral fabrics. More specifically, these planar structural elements are steep where the SIC underwent large magnitudes of thinning, i.e., in the south limb of the Sudbury Basin. Here, the actual tilt component of material planes is likely smaller than its maximum total rotation (60°) inferred from inclined igneous layering in the Norite. Our field-based study shows that ductile fabric development from brittle faults can have a profound influence on the rotational components of primary material planes in deformed igneous melt sheets. 相似文献

The shallow intrusive bodies and lava flows emplaced within the Permian upper red unit in the Anayet Massif, represent a magmatic episode that occurred about 255 Ma (Saxonian) in the Pyrenean Axial Zone (northern Spain). Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) measurements, in both igneous bodies and their host rocks, allow us to infer the existence of magnetic fabrics of tectonic origin linked to the main cleavage-related folding episode. The relationship between the susceptibility axes and the field structures is the criterion that permits to differentiate normal from inverse magnetic fabrics in the igneous samples. The structural interpretation of all AMS data taken from the igneous bodies and sedimentary host rocks, is in accordance with a folding model which include: (i) flattening associated with cleavage formation during fold amplification in incompetent layers (host pelites), responsible for a magnetic lineation at high angles with respect to the regional folding axis and (ii) buckling in competent (conglomerates and igneous bodies) levels, responsible for a magnetic lineation parallel to the regional fold axes. 相似文献

The Late Ordovician Abercrombie Beds, south of Reids Flat, New South Wales, and adjacent to the Wyangala Batholith, show evidence of three successive fold episodes. First generation folds are tight to isoclinal, with fold axes ranging from vertical to horizontal and north‐trending, and steep axial‐plane slaty cleavage. Second generation folds are steeply plunging, tight to open with north‐striking axial planes. In pelitic rocks the axial plane structure is a crenulation cleavage which overprints the slaty cleavage. The first two fold episodes were accompanied by greenschist‐facies metamorphism. Granite emplacement occurred prior to the second fold episode. A third deformation was of relatively mild intensity and produced open, north‐trending folds with axial planes dipping moderately to the east, and crenulation cleavage as the axial plane structure in pelitic rocks. These latest folds are correlated with the latest folds in the Abercrombie Beds north of the Abercrombie River. The mapped area has no apparent macroscopic structure and may be considered as a single domain. 相似文献

Magnetic susceptibility anisotropy as a strain indicator in the sudbury basin, Ontario 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The magnetic susceptibility anisotropy of 181 samples from the Chelmsford Formation, the Onaping Formation and the norite of the Sudbury Basin has been measured. Magnetic foliation planes are almost exactly parallel to the planar structural elements (slaty cleavage and foliation) that are axial planar to the Basin. Magnetic lineations, where present, are parallel to linear structural elements (mineral elongation lineations). The shapes of the susceptibility ellipsoids of individual samples and the grouping of their principal axes are used to classify each site according to one of nine possible anisotropy types. In the Chelmsford Formation there is dominantly one anisotropy type, but several are present in the norite. At each site there is a variation in shape of the anisotropy ellipsoids, which can be interpreted using magnetic susceptibility axial ratio plots analogous to the deformation plots used by structural geologists. Using this technique the measured anisotropy patterns are interpreted in terms of progressive modification of original predeformation magnetic fabrics by various types of strain. In the norite the shape of the susceptibility ellipsoid and the anisotropy type vary systematically with distance from the Grenville Front. 相似文献

In the Littleton Formation, garnet porphyroblasts preserve three generations of growth that occurred before formation of the Bolton Syncline. Inclusion trails of foliations overgrown by these porphyroblasts are always truncated by the matrix foliation suggesting that garnet growth predated the matrix foliation. In contrast, many staurolite porphyroblasts grew synchronously with formation of the Bolton Syncline. However, local rim overgrowths of the matrix foliation suggest that some staurolite porphyroblasts continued to grow after development of the fold during younger crenulation producing deformations. The axes of curvature or intersection of foliations defined by inclusion trails inside the garnet porphyroblasts lie oblique to the axial plane of the Bolton Syncline but do not change orientation across it. This suggests the garnets were not rotated during the subsequent deformation associated with fold development or during even younger crenulation events. Three samples also contain a different set of axes defined by curvature of inclusion trails in the cores of garnet porphyroblasts suggesting a protracted history of garnet growth. Foliation intersection axes in staurolite porphyroblasts are consistently orientated close to the trend of the axial plane of the Bolton Syncline on both limbs of the fold. In contrast, axes defined by curvature or intersection of foliations in the rims of staurolite porphyroblasts in two samples exhibit a different trend. This phase of staurolite growth is associated with a crenulation producing deformation that postdated formation of the Bolton Syncline. Measurement of foliation intersection axes defined by inclusion trails in both garnet and staurolite porphyroblasts has enabled the timing of growth relative to one another and to the development of the Bolton Syncline to be distinguished in rocks where other approaches have not been successful. Consistent orientation of foliation intersection axes across a range of younger structures suggests that the porphyroblasts did not rotate relative to geographical coordinates during subsequent ductile deformation. Foliation intersection axes in porphyroblasts are thus useful for correlating phases of porphyroblastic growth in this region. 相似文献

AbstractAn important generation of recumbent folds can be recognized in the Nevado-Filabride nappe complex in the Sierra de los Filabres in SE Spain.Folding post-dates an initial phase of flattening and is prior to the main phase of non-coaxial deformation and thrusting in the upper part of the complex, involved in a large-scale movement zone with dominant sense of shear to the northwest.Axial planes and axes of these folds are aligned sub-parallel to the plastic flow plane in quartz and the shear direction respectively. Relict quartz fabrics can be found however, which strongly suggest that some fold axes originated in this position and did not rotate towards parallelism with the shear direction. This apparently contradicts the generally accepted model of development of folds in mylonite zones.The redistribution of linear structures of the older flattening fase over the folds, confirms that the original orientation of fold axes was close to the present and indicates that an important component of flexural slip was involved in fold formation. 相似文献

The structural geometry of a mylonite zone (the Woodroffe thrust) and the country rock in its immediate vicinity is described. Mylonitic schistosity formed axial planar to folds in country rock foliation and contains a mineral elongation lineation which is constant in orientation. However, the fold axes (and associated intersection lineation) spread in orientation within the mylonitic schistosity but with a strong maximum parallel to the mineral elongation lineation. It is demonstrated that the fold axes formed initially at approximately 90° to mineral elongation but rotated with increase in strain towards it. Where this phenomenon was homogeneous on a macroscopic scale, rotation of large blocks of country rock across zones of mylonitization accompanied reorientation of fold axes within the mylonite.The controversy of progressive simple versus progressive pure shear for mylonite zones is discussed in the light of recent fabric and other evidence. It is concluded that the inhomogeneous forms of both progressive pure shear and progressive simple shear played a part and that the former dominated initially but gradually gave way to the latter until brittle rupture with large simple-shear displacements on a zone lubricated by the formation of pseudotachylite, brought granulite over amphibolite facies rocks. 相似文献

The supracrustal rocks in the easternmost part of the Proterozoic fold belt of North Singhbhum, eastern India, are folded into a series of large upright folds with variable plunges. The regional schistosity is axial–planar to the folds. The folds were produced by a second phase of deformation (D2) and were preceded by D1 deformation, which gave rise to isoclinal folds (mapped outside the study area) and the locally preserved, bedding-parallel schistosity. A shearing deformation during D2 was responsible for the sheath-like geometry of a major fold. The axial planes were curved by D3 warping. The first metamorphic episode (M1) of low-pressure type produced andalusite porphyroblasts prior to, or in the early stage of, D1 deformation. The main metamorphism (M2), responsible for the formation of chloritoid, kyanite, garnet and staurolite porphyroblasts, was late- to post-D2 in occurrence. The Staurolite isograd separates two zonal assemblages recorded in the high-alumina and the low-alumina pelitic schists. Geothermobarometric calculations indicate the peak metamorphic temperature to be 550 °C at 5.5 kb. Fluid composition in the rocks before and during M2 metamorphism was buffered and fluid influx, if any, was not extensive enough to overcome the buffering capacity of the rocks. From M1 to M2, the P–T path is found to have a clockwise trajectory, that is consistent with a tectonic model involving initial asthenospheric upwelling and rifting, followed by compressional deformation leading to loading and heating. 相似文献

Composite magnetic anisotropy fabrics: experiments, numerical models and implications for the quantification of rock fabrics 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Magnetic fabrics from rocks with multiple mineral-preferred orientations may have anisotropy ellipsoids whose shape and orientation arise from the addition of two or more component fabrics. Our numerical models and experiments demonstrate that such composite magnetic fabrics do not directly reflect the shapes and/or orientations of the individual mineral fabrics and we provide criteria for the recognition and interpretation of composite fabrics in natural rocks. These criteria include:
1. (1) the orientation of the maximum susceptibility axis is located at the intersection of two planar fabrics, and
2. (2) the shape of the susceptibility ellipsoid changes from oblate to prolate and the degree of anisotropy decreases, as the relative intensity of two planar component fabrics becomes equal and as the angle between the planar fabrics increases.
Composite magnetic fabrics are observed in the shales and slates of the Martinsburg Formation, Lehigh Gap, Pennsylvania. Modeling of the AMS (anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility) and ARMA (anhysteretic remanent magnetization anisotropy) behavior constrains the relative degree of anisotropy of the bedding-parallel and cleavage-parallel fabrics. In particular, ARMA model results allow a good estimate of magnetite fabric strength.
We conclude that, in the presence of composite magnetic fabrics, quantitative measures of finite strain in deformed rocks are limited by the ability to accurately determine the degree of anisotropy and relative susceptibility of each component fabric. Such determinations require knowledge of the mineral(s) that are responsible for the measured magnetic fabric and their behavior during deformation. 相似文献
