2
Shear zones, Catalina and Tanque Verde
3
Outline Review structures you saw on Saturday Clarify some questions Come up with a geologic model for the Catalinas Takehome points - shear zones
7
Undeformed granite Mylonite
8
Low strain High strain
14
Still nature with dudes
15
Normal faults throughout - cut foliation and other ductile structures
16
Normal fault
17
Foliation- not sedimentary layering Measurable like bedding-good first indication of direction of ductile deformation
18
Mylonites Porphyroclasts Gneissic banding Rotated crystals
19
Fractured fold - top to the south
21
S C
22
Lineation- not as clearly defined as foliation; why? What kinda tectonites are these then? Dudes
23
Top to the south sense of shear
26
Ductile first Brittle later
27
Beware of dog approaching
28
X-cutting dike (or discordant igneous intrusion if you wish) - seals all the ductile deformation- an absolute age on this basaltic material would constrain the end of ductile deformation
30
Ductile deformation top to the south is given by foliation (direction), sense of shear indicators (folding, S-Cs) and lineation Brittle is overprinted- low angle normal faults cutting the old foliation
33
Sequence of events:
34
The strength versus depth issue
35
Reminder-simple shear deformation
37
Assignment due a week from Thursday
