Mylonites form in response to high rates of strain within deep
ductile shear zones, which are the extensions at depth of surface
faults, thrusts and fault breccias, They can have many different
mineralogical compositions and are therefore defined on their
textural appearance. This atlas provides high definition images of
a large number of different mylonites allowing students and
geologists to correctly classify them with greater ease. It also
provides insights into the interpretation of mylonitic fabrics to
answer questions such as; from what type of rock did this mylonite
derive? What were the metamorphic circumstances during
mylonitization? What was the intensity of deformation?, and What
was the sense of shear? This book will complement the very
successful textbook "Microtectonics" by Passchier and Trouw.
