Fig. 3

a Paragneiss from the Polinik Complex with quartz-layers and < 1 cm sized garnet porphyroblasts. A slight SC-structure is developed even though the core of the Wallner Shear Zone is located about 1 km structurally above. b Folded micaschist from the Strieden Complex with garnet crystals of up to 1 cm in diameter. c Paragneiss with asymmetric elongated quartz-clast and shiny white mica from the Gaugen Complex. The brownish weathering color is typical for these rocks. d White mica-rich phyllite from the Goldeck Complex with brownish carbonate + quartz vein. Chlorite is responsible for the greenish color. e SC mylonite from the Wallner Shear Zone with translucent quartz veins showing top SSE normal faulting. f Thin section of quartz mylonite from the Wallner Shear Zone with cataclastically broken feldspar crystals in the upper part. Quartz shows evidences of strong crystal plastic deformation in combination with subgrain formation. The quartz mylonites record strong crystal preferred orientation as seen with sensitive tint plate (sample 16G36, width of the image: 7.5 mm). g Chlorite-sericite schist from the Lessnigbach Shear Zone. Overprinting kink folding is also observable. h Pseudotachylite from the Blassnig Shear Zone. The crystals are strongly grinded and quartz shows undulose extinction. A later brittle-ductile fault with a few mm displacement cuts across the pseudotachylite (sample 16G16, width of the image: 11.71 mm)
