The microstructural record of porphyroclasts and matrix of partly serpentinized peridotite mylonites – from brittle and crystal-plastic deformation to dissolution–precipitation creep

We present microfabrics in high-pressure, metamorphic, partly serpentinized peridotite mylonites from the Voltri Massif, in which porphyroclasts and matrix record independent deformation events. The microfabrics are analysed using polarization microscopy and electron microscopy (SEM/EBSD, EMP). The...
