At a 10x magnification and under cross-polarised light we observed localisation
of deformation into shear bands (a, b) with the same shear sense as the imposed
bulk shear (Movie
3 c' lines). The bands (a, b)
are C'-type shear bands with angles between 25-15° to the shear
zone boundary, are situated in an area with high concentration of elongated
grains, and lie close to a fabric with less deformed grains (Movie
3).
Their orientation (a, b) changed gradually, but in opposite directions during
the deformation and both shear bands were stretched. A strong shape fabric
formed close to the shear bands (a, b) and this zone widened in the paraffin,
whereby the growth of the fabric was fastest in direction parallel to the shear
band (a). (Movie
3) shows the S-C' type cleavage with oblique shear bands (C')
and microlithons (Passchier & Trouw 1996).
The microlithons rotated with
respect the shear zone boundary, as is clearly visible in (Movie
3).
