Synopsis

Microtectonics is the interpretation of small-scale deformation structures in rocks. These can be studied by optical microscope and contain abundant information on the history and type of deformation and metamorphism in a rock and are therefore used by geologists to obtain data for large-scale geological interpretations. This advanced textbook treats common microstructures such as intracrystalline fabrics, foliations, porphyroblasts, veins, fringes, shear sense indicators, crystallographic fabrics and gives a simple non-mathematical background in continuum mechanics. The text is clarified by many photographs and explanatory drawings. This textbook is suited for independent study of microstructures as a reference manual, or as a manual for short courses.
