Structures of mylonitic granites of the Yagan metamorphic core complex on Sino-Mongolian border-implications for its kinematics and chronology

摘要

The mylonitic granitic plutons are extended in line-shape (L) and parallel to the regional extensional shear foliation. After being unstrained, the primary shapes of these plutons are also nearly sheet-like (S). Their fabrics are of S-L or L type. Various kinds of shear marks indicate top-to-south shear. The plutons of various stages are different in deformation intensity; however, the foliation and lineation of these rocks have the same shear sense, which suggests progressive ductile shearing.
