Fault-related rocks. A photographic atlas / Горные породы, связанные с тектоническими нарушениями (тектонические брекчии). Атлас фотографий

The initial concept of a photographic atlas on fault rocks was developed  during informal discussions at the Geological Society of America Penrose  Conference "Significance and Petrogenesis of Mylonitic Rocks" held at San  Diego, California, in spring 1981, and coconvened by the editors of this  book. Many participants felt that a new consensus about mylonites and ductile shear zones had been achieved at the conference, based largely upon the  contributions of geoscientists who brought perspectives from the laboratory  as well as from the field. In part motivated by the publication (1982) of the  Atlas of Deformational and Metamorphic Rock Fabrics (and its predecessor,  the Atlas of Rock Cleavage) both edited by G. J. Borradaile, Μ. B. Bayly, and  C. McA. Powell, we felt that a collection of photographs of features characteristic of faults and shear zones, ranging in scale from mesoscopic to microscopic to even submicroscopic, together with carefully documented locations  and regional (or experimental) information, would provide a valuable reference as well as a teaching device <...>
