Metamorphic core complexes: Windows into the mechanics and rheology of the crust

JP Platt, WM Behr, FJ Cooper - Journal of the Geological Society, 2015‏ - lyellcollection.org
Metamorphic core complexes are products of normal-fault displacements sufficient to
exhume rocks from below the brittle–ductile transition. These faults (detachments) may …
