| Close to the tectonic contact with the Mesozoic-Cenozoic cover there is a wide zone of cataclasis. |
|
| Dynamic metamorphism, or cataclasis, results mainly from mechanical deformation with little long-term temperature change. |
|
| The lower intensity of syenite cataclasis resulted from their mica content, which is higher than in the granites. |
|
| The intensity of cataclasis, 10 to 20 times greater than at Böttstein and Leuggern, reflects the location at the edge of the Permo-Carboniferous trough. |
|
| Strong influx of water-rich fluids during pre-Triassic cataclasis led to albitisation of the plagioclase, and not to its replacement by clay minerals as observed in the Leuggern and Böttstein boreholes. |
|
| The mineralization is located at the contact of two regional structural trends where faulting and deformation have produced intense cataclasis and brecciation. |
|
| The mineralization appears to be located at the intersection of two regional structural trends where deformation has produced intense cataclasis and brecciation. |
