چکیده انگلیسی
Schistose mylonitic rocks in the central part of the Alpine Fault (AF) at Tatare Stream, New Zealand are cut by pervasive extensional (Câ²) shear bands in a well-understood and young, natural ductile shear zone. The Câ² shears cross-cut the pre-existing (Mesozoic-aged) foliation, displacing it ductilely synthetic to late Cenozoic motion on the AF. Using a transect approach, we evaluated changes in geometrical properties of the mm-cm-spaced Câ² shear bands across a conspicuous finite strain gradient that intensifies towards the AF. Precise Câ² attitudes, Câ²-foliation dihedral angles, and Câ²-S intersections were calculated from multiple sectional observations at both outcrop and thin-section scales. Based on these data the direction of ductile shearing in the Alpine mylonite zone during shear band activity is inferred to have trended >20° clockwise (down-dip) of the coeval Pacific-Australia plate motion, indicating some partitioning of oblique-slip motion to yield an excess of “dip-slip” relative to plate motion azimuth, or some up-dip ductile extrusion of the shear zone as a result of transpression, or both. Constant attitude of the mylonitic foliation across the finite strain gradient indicates this planar fabric element was parallel to the shear zone boundary (SZB). Across all examined parts of the shear zone, the mean dihedral angle between the Câ² shears and the mylonitic foliation (S) remains a constant 30 ± 1° (1Ï). The aggregated slip accommodated on the Câ² shear bands contributed only a small bulk shear strain across the shear zone (γ = 0.6-0.8). Uniformity of per-shear slip on Câ² shears with progression into the mylonite zone across the strain gradient leads us to infer that these shears exhibited a strain-hardening rheology, such that they locked up at a finite shear strain (inside Câ² bands) of 12-15. Shear band boudins and foliation boudins both record extension parallel to the SZB, as do the occurrence of extensional shear band sets that have conjugate senses of slip. We infer that shear bands nucleated on planes of maximum instantaneous shear strain rate in a shear zone with Wk < 0.8, and perhaps even as low as <0.5. The Câ² shear bands near the AF formed in a thinning/stretching shear zone, which had monoclinic symmetry, where the direction of shear-zone stretching was parallel to the shearing direction.
