Control of pre-existing fabric in fracture formation, reactivation and vein emplacement under variable fluid pressure conditions: An example from Archean Greenstone belt, India
Abstract:Abstract. Most of the upper crustal fluid flows are strongly influenced by the pre-existing fractures/foliations in the rocks under a certain state of tectonic stress and fluid pressure condition. In the present study, we analyze a wide range of crosscutting fractures that are filled with quartz veins of variable orientations and thicknesses, from the gold bearing massive metabasalts (supracrustal) of the Chitradurga Schist Belt adjacent to the Chitradurga Shear Zone (CSZ), western Dharwar craton, sout… Show more
