Strain, deformation temperatures and vorticity of flow at the top of the Greater Himalayan Slab, Everest Massif, Tibet by Law, R, Searle, M, Simpson, R

“…Deformation temperatures of c. 450 °C are indicated by fabric opening angles in epidote amphibolite-facies mylonites located closer to the overlying detachment. A top down-to-the-north (normal) shear sense is indicated by the asymmetry of microstructures and c-axis fabrics, but the degree of asymmetry is low at distances greater than 400 m beneath the detachment, and sillimanite grains am drawn into adjacent conjugate shear bands but still appear pristine, indicating that deformation occurred at close to peak metamorphic temperatures. …”
