The Kamila Shear Zone is a deep to mid crustal structure developed within the Kohistan island arc complex of North Pakistan prior to Himalayan collision between Kohistan and India. Meta-gabbros of the Chilas complex were transported southwards across the shear zone onto a stack of high pressure rocks that had been assembled in the hanging wall of the Tethyan subduetion zone. The shear zone is constituted by an anastomosing array of amphibolite facies ductile high strain zones within which fabric intensity varies although mylonitic zones are common. Shear criteria and kinematic indicators have a consistent SW-vergence. Little microstructural evidence for the high temperature ductile shearing is preserved, fabrics having been over-printed by post-deformational processes of recrystallisation, annealing and grain growth. A subsequent history of exhumation during decreasing temperature is documented by a progressive sequence of down temperature retrogression and deformation in superimposed shear zones which predominantly affected coarse grained rocks unaffected by the earlier crystal plastic deformation. The shearing involved dominantly cataclastic amphibolite to greenschist facies deformation culminating in lower greenschist facies shearing and mylonitisation, and the development of a distributed network of minor cataclastic and gouge-filled fault rocks.
