A review of thermal history and timescales of tectonometamorphic processes in Sikkim Himalaya (NE India) and implications for rates of metamorphic processes
The lesser and greater Himalayan sequences (LH and GH) in Sikkim have been studied in
detail recently. The LH consists mainly of pelitic lithologies with detrital zircon ages> 1800 …

Unraveling the role of dextral faults in the formation of pull-apart basin structures and their implications on the genesis of ophiolites and pluto-volcanics
Rhombic structures have been observed in the Qom-Zefreh-Nayin-Dehsheir-Baft region,
specifically along the direction of the dextral faults, which have caused significant changes …

Constrictional strain and linear fabrics as a result of deformation partitioning: A multiscale modeling investigation and tectonic significance
Rocks with a well‐developed lineation but weak or no foliation (L‐tectonites) commonly
occur as isolated volumes dispersed in other tectonites. We consider L‐tectonites that reflect …
