2 How is the petrography affected by shear zones in the Kohistan complex? Gerold Zeilinger, Laurent Arbaret, Jean-Pierre Burg, Nawaz Chaudhry, Hamid Dawood & Shahid Hussain Preliminary report

3 Petrological analysis of shear zones to document the dynamics of intra arc deformation in the bottom parts of the Kohistan Complex –Granulitic gabbro (upper level of Jijal-Complex) –Sarangar gabbro (lower level of Kamila shear zone) Overview

8 Granulitic gabbro (13/01/01) 13/01/01 P2 13/01/01 P1 3 cm

9 Samples Granulitic gabbro (13/01/01) –Plagioclase, clinopyroxene, garnet, amphibole, quartz and rutile. mylonitic zone: –Decrease in amount of pyroxene and increase of amphibole and quartz. Garnet is porphyroclastic in the very fine grained matrix (~0.3mm), partly rotated and fractured with new grown amphibole inside these fractures. undeformed part: –Granoblastic texture. Pyroxene is hypidioblastic with lobate to symplectitic contacts with plagioclase. Garnets are poikiloblastic, intergrown with plagioclase, quartz and amphibole.

10 Sarangar gabbro (16/01/01) 16/01/01 P1 16/01/01 P3 3 cm

11 Samples Sarangar gabbro (16/01/01) –Amphibole, clino- and orthopyroxene, plagioclase, garnet, epidote, ilmenite and quartz. mylonitic zone: –Amphiboles underline the fabric in the shear zone and are cut by small quartz veins. Poikiloblastic garnet occurs infrequently. Porphyroclasts (~2 mm) are plagioclase and quartz. undeformed part: –Orthopyroxene is idioblastic close to the mylonitic zone whereas farther away it rims the clinopyroxene. This rim shows symplectitic intergrowth with a second rim comprised of greenish hornblende.
