1 GL4 E1 KI 3c Textural changes: FOLIATED AND NON-FOLIATED See KI 3 b

2 Textural changes From random orientation to alignment
Recrystallisation

3 MYLONITE Foliated Shearing and dislocation processes powder the rock and align it to the movement directions Often forms slickensides

4 MYLONITE Folded mylonite Credit: British Geological Survey
Photomicrograph of mylonite (XPL) Credit: British Geological Survey

5 MIGMATITE Very coarse gneiss Look similar to granite
Bands of quartz-feldspar granitic material and mafic material (biotite and hornblende) Highest metamorphic grades Partial melting Plastic stage  flow folds (ptygmatic folds)
