Micro-scale structures of selected samples of the RC. a D1 structures (isoclinal fold F1) surrounded by the folded foliation S2 and by the late growth of Bt2 (growth stage III) (study area J). b Garnet poikiloblast with sigmoidal inclusion patterns (growth stage I) suggest growth during NW-directed shearing. Foliation S2 is enclosed in garnet rims (growth stage II) and continues into the external matrix foliation S2 (study area J). c Metabasite contains garnet with an internal foliation S1 surrounded by a pressure shadow aligned by hornblende crystals (study area H). d Garnet aggregates with asymmetric shape suggest crystallization during WNW-directed shearing (D1). e Mica fishes within the recrystallized quartz matrix indicate shearing to the W (study area I). f Garnet poikiloblasts show growth stages I and II. Inclusion patterns in growth stage I consist of recrystallized quartz and carbonate (study area J)
