• Dry and strong quartz during deformation of the lower crust in the presence of melt 

      Menegon, Luca; Nasipuri, Pritam; Stunitz, Holger; Behrens, Harald; Ravna, Erling J Krogh (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Granulite facies migmatitic gneisses from the Seiland Igneous Province (northern Norway) were deformed during deep crustal shearing in the presence of melt, which formed by dehydration melting of biotite. Partial melting and deformation occurred during the intrusion of large gabbroic plutons at the base of the lower crust at 570 to 520 Ma in an intracontinental rift setting. The migmatitic gneisses ...
    • The effect of Dauphiné twinning on plastic strain in quartz 

      Menegon, Luca; Piazolo, Sandra; Pennacchioni, Giorgio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      We present an electron backscatter diffraction analysis of five quartz porphyroclasts in a greenschist facies (T = 300–400°C) granitoid protomylonite from the Arolla unit of the NW Alps. Mechanical Dauphiné twinning developed pervasively during the incipient stage of deformation within two porphyroclasts oriented with a negative rhomb plane {z} almost orthogonal to the compression direction (z-twin ...
