Effect of Low Viscosity Contrast between Quartz and Plagioclase on Creep Behavior of the Mid-Crustal Shear Zone

Ultramylonites are among the most extreme fault rocks that commonly occur in the mid-crustal brittle–plastic transition and are mainly characterized by intensely sheared fine-grained microstructures and well-mixed mineral phases. Although the deformation mechanism of ultramylonites is key to underst...
