Sheath Folds Formed Under the Action of Gliding Nappe and Shearing

Since J. Carreras’ pioneer work on Hercynian fold belt of Pyreneas, it has been universally acknowledged that the sheath folds are one of the distinguished signs of ductile shearing zone in deep levels. Up to now, only in plutonic metamorphic rocks were the sheath folds found in the world. Recently,...
