Back to the list of Microstructures Woodroffe Thrust mylonite zone, central Australia: Unlike the low-grade mylonitization, all mineral phases (i.e. quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar and biotite) have been dynamically recrystallized into finer grains, resulting in very fine grained ultramylonite near the thrust. The mylonite zone is bounded by the pseudotachylite zone that is the largest pseudotachylite zone in the world.
