Flow patterns during exhumation of the Sambagawa metamorphic rocks, SW Japan, caused by brittle-ductile, arc-parallel extension

Abstract: Mesoscopic and microscopic structural analyses of the high-pressure/temperature Sambagawa metamorphic rocks (accretion complexes), SW Japan, have been carried out. Deformation characterized by extreme layer-normal thinning and nearly arc-parallel stretching occurred during exhumation in the Late Cretaceous. Asymmetric quartz c-axis fabrics and orientation of shear band cleavages reveal a pervasive top-to-the-west sense of shear in the Sambagawa metamorphic rocks during the exhumation stage. The 3D strain geome… Show more

“…The D 1 phase is characterized by ductile flow in an east-west direction, and during this phase of deformation the main foliation and lineation were formed. The lineation is defined by the shape-preferred orientation (SPO) of matrix amphiboles, which grew under retrograde conditions (Hara et al, 1990Wallis et al, 1992;Nakamura and Enami, 1994;Wintsch et al, 1999;Banno, 2000;Yagi and Takeshita, 2002;Toriumi, 2004, 2005), and by elongated quartz (Takeshita and Yagi, 2004), whereas the shape-preferred orientation of phengite and flattened quartz defines the foliation. D 2 phase in the chlorite zone is characterized by south-vergent overturned folds with crenulation cleavages (Hara et al, 1977;Faure, 1983).…”

“…Fig. 8c shows stereographic projections of fault-slip data collected in the Asemi river area (after Takeshita and Yagi, 2004). Although the fault plane orientations are scattered, the striations tend to cluster along the WNW-ESE directions.…”
