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

小行星9316334 这项研究规划补助金将启动一个区域规模的应变历史分区研究在西部新英格兰的塔科尼奇外来岩。 野外研究的重点是解理、层理和矿脉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脉纹和压力条纹进行显微结构研究，以确定应变分成同轴和非同轴分量的程度。 研究结果将测试该地区的可行性，并将用更大规模的项目来研究阿巴拉契亚山脉北方造山带的应变分配。

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.
