V. Prasannakumar et Pkr. Nair, CALCITE FABRIC FROM THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE CHITRADURGA SCHIST BELT,KARNATAKA, Journal of the Geological Society of India, 44(3), 1994, pp. 275-282
On the basis of calcite orientation, the temporal relations between cr
ystallisation, folding and formation of foliation in the Chitradurga s
chist belt are attempted. Stress orientation at the time of deformatio
n and spatial orientation of the hinge lines of syncrystallisation fol
ds have been determined. While syntectonic recrystallisation seems to
be the dominant mechanism, pressure solution and intracrystalline defo
rmation might also have played a role in fabric development.
