The geometry and kinematics of enclaves in sheared migmatites from the Evora Massif, Ossa-Morena Zone (Portugal)

In the Montemor-o-Novo high-grade metamorphic terraines of western Ossa-Morena Zone (Portugal), sheared migmatites display a wide variety of distinct mesoscopic structures. Relationships of leucosome-melanosome layering and rotated enclaves allowed determination in which direction the tectonic movem...

Resumo:In the Montemor-o-Novo high-grade metamorphic terraines of western Ossa-Morena Zone (Portugal), sheared migmatites display a wide variety of distinct mesoscopic structures. Relationships of leucosome-melanosome layering and rotated enclaves allowed determination in which direction the tectonic movement occurred. We proposed non-coaxial progressive deformation to explain how the fabric elements moved during D2 sinistrai shearing
