Fig. 6

Schematic illustration of the evolution of the AMS ellipsoid (equal-area lower hemisphere projections) in response to layer parallel shortening (after Saint-Bezar et al. 2002; Weil and Yonkee 2009). Stage A: Purely sedimentary fabric; stages B and C: Composite sedimentary-tectonic fabric; stages D and E: Tectonic fabric. Black arrows indicate shortening direction related to the lower hemisphere plots
