Deformation-resembling microstructure created by fluid-mediated dissolution–precipitation reactions

Microstructural features of deformed rocks are used to reveal deformation stresses and temperatures. Here, the authors conduct experiments showing that misleading microstructures form during fluid-mediated mineral reactions under static conditions, and propose new criteria for microstructure identif...
