| Abstract: | A joint magnetic and mica fabric study has been carried out on rocks from recognised shear zones in Galicia (Spain). The two main aims of the study are to determine strain gradients in a foliated material without any significant strain markers and to obtain a quantitative relationship between the magnetic susceptibility anisotropy ellipsoid and the mica fabric axes. The intensity parameters of the fabric on profiles intersecting the studied areas indicate the dominant influence of two major shear zones on the fabric development. The regional fabric shows less significant variations across minor (less developed) shear zones.The empirical relationship between magnetic fabric and strain reported by Rathore (1979, 1980) and Rathore and Henry (1982) is found to hold in the magnetic and mica fabrics comparison. The relationship found in this study is: |
