"SlideSet": folder containing the description of the microstructures.

The descriptions of the thin sections (extended figure captions) have been grouped into eight chapters, each being saved in its own folder.

  1. Experimentally deformed quartz aggregates
  2. Naturally deformed quartz-rich rocks
  3. Experimentally deformed feldspar aggregates
  4. Naturally deformed feldspar rocks
  5. Experimentally deformed quartzo-feldspathic rocks
  6. Naturally deformed quartzo-feldspathic rocks
  7. Experimentally deformed pyroxenite and diabase
  8. Deformation and metamorphic reactions in polyphase rocks

Each chapter begins with an introductory page and consists of a number of sections. Each section corresponds to a deformation regime (sometimes two regimes are combined into one).

Each section begins with the list of microstructures, followed by the full description of each of the microstructures.

 

 

 

"Slides": folder containing 97 photomicrographs of microstructures.

Most of these images have been taken from a collection of thin sections which were used in a GSA short course ("Deformation Mechanisms and Microstructures", October 1998).

The micrographs have been scanned and saved as 1800x1200 JPEG colour images. Some processing has been applied to them and all images have a scale bar, indicating the true size.
