Tectonic and petrogenetic evolution of sub-horizontal granulite-grade fabric in lower continental crust: Constraints on lower crustal flow from the western Canadian Shield
Ductile, weak flow of continental lower crust is inferred for a number of orogenic systems, including the Andes and the Himalayan-Tibetan system. Sub-horizontal, high-temperature fabrics in rare exposures of exhumed lower continental crust provide important directly observable constraints on the phy...
