Abstract
"Petrofabric studies on naturally and experimentally deformed dolomite indicate that the main mechanisms of plastic deformation of dolomite, under most conditions, are twin-gliding on {0221} and translation-gliding on {0001}. The fabric of a dolomite with mylonitic textures is analysed and interpreted in dynamic terms. The grains in the rock contain numerous {0221} twin lamellae and also internally rotated lamellae of the type observed in experimentally deformed dolomite and designated L 9 . Compression and tension axes inferred from twinned {0221} lamellae are statistically parallel to those inferred from L 9 lamellae. The strain calculated from the amount of rotation of L 9 lamellae varies from 5 to 18 percent for individual grains; it is concluded that these figures are probably less than the total post-crystalline strain in rock."
