Mylonite is a fine-grained, compact metamorphic rock produced by dynamic recrystallization of the constituent minerals resulting in a reduction of the grain size of the rock. Mylonites can have many different mineralogical compositions; it is a classification based on the textural appearance of …

The mylonite is a fine-grained, partially recrystallized metamorphic rock produced by dynamic recrystallization with pronounced foliation as a result of intense shearing during large-scale movements along faults and thrusts.

A mylonitic rock is a foliated metamorphic rock in which the grains of the parent rock have been reduced in size without the loss of primary cohesion. These characteristics separate mylonitic rocks from other cataclastic rocks such as fault breccia, fault gouge, and cataclasite (see Cataclastic Rocks ).

Mylonites are rocks that have undergone modification of original textures by predominantly plastic flow due to dynamic recystallization. The formation of mylonites occur at depth, below brittle faults, in continental and oceanic crust.

Mylonite is a foliated metamorphic rock that is composed of intensely flattened minerals in a fine-grained streaked matrix. Mylonites form deep in the crust where temperature and pressure are high enough for the rocks to deform plastically (ductile deformation).

Mylonite is a metamorphic rock formed by ductile deformation during intense shearing encountered during folding and faulting, a process termed cataclastic or dynamic metamorphism. This process involves nearly complete pulverisation of the parent rock so the original minerals are almost completely broken down and recrystallise as smaller grains ...

A compact, chert-like rock without strong cleavage, but with a streaky or banded structure, produced by the extreme granulation, shearing and recrystallisation of rocks that have been pulverized and rolled during overthrusting or intense dynamic metamorphism. Mylonite may also be described as a microbreccia with flow texture.

Mylonite, a fascinating metamorphic rock, stands as a testament to the geological forces that shape our planet. In this comprehensive article, we delve into the intricacies of mylonite, exploring its formation, classification, and unique characteristics.

2019年11月11日 · The degree of mylonitization is between primordium and ultra-mylonite, and it is a very fine-grained dynamic metamorphic rock (grain size 0.1–0.5 mm). It contains a small amount of augen porphyroclasts. This rock is dense and hard and often has a banded structure.

IUGS definition of mylonite: "Fault rock that is cohesive and characterized by a well-developed schistosity resulting from tectonic reduction of grain size, and commonly containing rounded prophyroclasts and lithic fragments of similar composition to minerals in the matrix.
