Figure 5

Field photographs and micrographs showing strain partitioning among juxtaposed lithotypes in the Evia Shear Zone. (a–d; zone 35°N, 253314°E, 4245312°N) Photograph (a, c), interpretive sketch (b) and micrograph (d) of a competent subvertical semipelitic schist deformed within less competent chlorite schists. (a, b) The main outcrop structure shows a gently E‐dipping spaced crenulation cleavage (S3) that is axial planar to the dominant folds (axpl3). (c) The competent lens preserves a shallowly W‐dipping cleavage (S2) between a younger fabric and quartz veins parallel to S2. (d) Micrograph showing preservation of W‐ dipping S2 cleavage within microlithons. Note quartz vein, which shows folding only about axial planes parallel to S3 cleavage. Thin section cut parallel to NE‐trending LS, oblique to the outcrop face. (e; zone 35°N, 254659°E, 4237460°N) Low‐angle brittle‐ductile normal fault and associated high‐angle conjugate normal faults localized along the contact between pelitic schist and a marble block. (f; zone 35°N, 254910°E, 4236253°N) High‐angle, SE‐dipping normal fault dividing a metabasic block (HW) from Tsakei schists (FW). Mineral abbreviations after Whitney and Evans (2010). Orange arrow indicates location of scale. Scale: hammer: 27 cm long; 2€ coin: 26 mm diameter.
