RPG: Strain History Partitioning in the Northern Taconic Allochthon: A Preliminary Investigation

9316334克雷斯皮这项研究计划赠款将在新英格兰西部的塔科尼克阿洛奇松地区启动一项关于菌株历史划分的区域规模研究。实地研究将侧重于卵裂、层理和脉络的定向分析，以及样品的收集。实验室分析将包括对黄铁矿晶体周围的矿脉和压力条纹的微观结构研究，以确定应变分成同轴和非同轴分量的程度。这一结果将检验该地区和方法的可行性，该地区和方法是一个更大规模的项目，以调查阿巴拉契亚造山带北部的应变分离。

9316334 Crespi This Research Planning Grant will initiate a regional-scale study of strain history partitioning in the Taconic Allochthon of western New England. Field studies will focus on orientation analysis of cleavage, bedding and veins, and collection of samples. Laboratory analysis will include microstructural study of the veins ad pressure-fringes around pyrite crystals to establish the degree of partitioning of strain into coaxial and non-coaxial components. The results will test the feasibility of the area and methods a larger- scale project to investigate strain partitioning in the northern Appalachians orogenic belt.
