Introduction to Metamorphism part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This 83-slide PowerPoint presentation introduces metamorphic agents and changes. Stress, strain, tension, compression, and shear are discussed as well as the lineation or foliation that results from ...
Microdynamics Laboratory - Projects part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This site contains a variety of microstructure projects conducted at the University of Maine. QuickTime movies show the modeled deformation of rocks and the development of microstructures. Examples ...
Analogue Microstructural Modeling at the University at Albany, SUNY part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This site contains 15 time-lapse QuickTime movies that show the experimental deformation behavior of octachloropropane. This compound shows similar microstructures to those found in quartzite, and ...
Dislocation Glide part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This animation from Monash University shows the process of dislocation glide in two dimensions. The animation shows what it would look like if we could zoom in on a single grain of sand, down to the ...
Teaching Resources in Structural Geology part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This collection of web-based teaching resources is intended to assist educators in teaching structural geology. There are sections of materials on basic structures (folds, faults, shear zones, and ...
Formation of spaced cleavage and folds in brittle limestone by dissolution part of SERC Print Resource Collection
Short, well written article that presents a nice case for the role of dissolution in cleavage formation and is an early article on this subject. This is a good article for a class discussion on ...

Middle Proterozoic Belt Supergroup, Western Montana part of SERC Print Resource Collection
From Great Falls, to Butte, Helena Glacier National Park and Spokane, this field trip crosses onto the leading edge of the Rocky Mountain thrust belt and proceeds to the stratiform copper-silver ...
Determination of movement sense in mylonites part of SERC Print Resource Collection
This article from the Journal of Geoscience Education features a clear and succinct discussion of kinematic indicators in mylonites. Students find this illustrated article to be accessible with some ...
Cratered cobbles in Triassic Buntsandstein conglomerates in northeastern Spain: An indicator of shock deformation in the vicinity of large impacts part of SERC Print Resource Collection
Quartzite cobbles in Lower Triassic Buntsandstein conglomerates from northeastern Spain display unusual millimeter- to centimeter-sized circular craters, commonly having central mounds and surrounded ...
