Crystallographic oreferred orientation of olivine in sheared partially molten rocks: the source of the “a‐c switch”

To investigate the mechanism that produces the crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO) characteristic of sheared partially molten rocks of mantle composition, we analyzed the microstructures of samples of olivine plus 7% basaltic melt deformed in torsion to shear strains as large as urn:x-wil...
