- W2103284043 abstract "Knowledge of the magnitude of differential stress and strain rate during the formation of mylonitic shear zones in metamorphic core complexes provides constraints on the mechanical behavior of the middle continental crust during extension. We analyzed the differential flow stress during the mylonitization of quartzofeldspathic rocks in the Whipple Mountains, California, using grain‐size piezometers and kinetic laws for grain growth. Mylonitic gneisses collected from two widely separated transects have grain sizes that cluster in a range from 32 to 61 µm. Analysis of grain growth kinetics indicates that mylonitization of the gneisses continued during cooling to temperatures ≤500°C, compatible with estimates from two‐feldspar thermometry. Quartz grain‐size piezometers suggest that the mylonitization occurred under differential stresses (σ 1 –σ 3 ) of ∼40–150 MPa, or maximum shear stresses of 20–75 MPa. Extrapolation of quartzite flow laws to 500°C indicates that the mylonitization occurred at strain rates faster than 10 −14 s −1 . These estimates suggest that the mylonitic zone within the Whipple Mountains had an effective viscosity of the order of 10 18±4 −10 20±4 Pa s. These low viscosities and rapid strain rates, combined with seismic reflection data showing that continental crust is layered, suggest that more realistic physical models of extension of the continental lithosphere should treat the lithosphere as a heterogeneous distribution of high‐viscosity regions separated by low‐viscosity zones." @default.
