112 L. BARATOUX ET AL.<strong>Quantitative</strong> textural analysisGrain size distributionThe average grain sizes are presented as medianvalues <strong>of</strong> the Ferret diameter <strong>and</strong> the grain sizespread is expressed by the difference <strong>of</strong> third<strong>and</strong> first quartile (Q3- Ql). The statisticalvalues <strong>of</strong> the quantitative micro<strong>structural</strong> <strong>and</strong>grain size <strong>analyses</strong> are summarized in Table 4.Plagioclase. Plagioclase in XZ section <strong>of</strong> theprotomylonitic stage in the eastern metagabbrobelt is characterized by an average grain size <strong>of</strong>45 ixm (El) (Fig. l la). Matrix grains in mylonitesare marked by an increase <strong>of</strong> the averagegrain size, reaching 74 pore in less (E2-pll) <strong>and</strong>58 Ixm in more (E2-p12) strained domains.Grain coarsening in the mylonite is consistentwith the syndeformational growth <strong>of</strong> grains originatedfrom subgrain rotation in the protomyloniticstage. This is supported by a greater amount<strong>of</strong> larger grains in grain size frequency histograms.The grain size is reduced to ~45 Ixm inthe ultramylonite (E3).Plagioclase grains in the augen mylonite <strong>of</strong>the western metagabbro belt (W1) are 43 Ixmon average, which is the statistical valueTable 4, Statistical values <strong>of</strong> the quantitative textural analysisEastern beltWestern beltProtomyl.
