Microtectonics

By Cees W. Passchier and C.W. Passchier

Book Overview

This advanced textbook treats common microstructures such as foliations, porphyroblasts, veins, fringes and shear sense. It also provides information on experimental work and the techniques of microtectonic research. Many photographs and explanatory drawings clarify the text. The new edition, substantially revised throughout and extended, features two new chapters (primary structures and experimental microstructures), 90 new figures, 600 new reference. Microtectonics has proven useful for self study of microstructures and as a manual for short- and one-semester courses.
