Point <strong>and</strong> contour pole figures <strong>of</strong> amphibole CPO in (a <strong>and</strong> b) the eastern belt <strong>and</strong> (c <strong>and</strong> d) the western belt(lower hemisphere, equal area projections). Contours are counted as multiples (1, 2, 3, 4 .... • ) <strong>of</strong> uniform distribution.MD is maximum density <strong>of</strong> data in the contour diagrams. Foliation is represented by the horizontal line, lineationis trending E-W. The CPO <strong>of</strong> porphyroclast is marked by a circle.A possible switch from diffusion-dominated flowin the mylonite to dislocation creep in the ultramylonitemay be due to a decrease in temperature<strong>of</strong> deformation as described from felsic granulitesby Martelat et al. (1999). The switch fromthe GSS to the GSI regime for decreased grainsize is possible <strong>and</strong> implies an increase <strong>of</strong>strain rate <strong>and</strong>/or a decrease <strong>of</strong> temperature inthe shear zone (H<strong>and</strong>y 1990). A similar transitionfrom diffusion-dominated creep in plagioclaseaggregates in augen mylonites to dislocationcreep in b<strong>and</strong>ed ultramylonites was reportedby Schulmann et al. (1996) from deformedmetagranitoids.Dominant (010)[001] slip was identified inplagioclase from both CPO patterns <strong>and</strong>/orTEM observations (e.g. Olsen & Kohlstedt1984, 1985; Montardi & Mainprice 1987; Ji &Mainprice 1988, 1990). However, the observedCPO patterns for amphibolite facies metagabbrosare not compatible with activation <strong>of</strong> the classicslip system. Various other slip systems, whichmay be activated in plagioclase also, weredescribed by Marshall & McLaren (1977a, b),Olsen & Kohlstedt (1984, 1985), <strong>and</strong> Montardi& Mainprice (1987). In addition, St(initz et al.(2003) concluded that during experimentaldeformation <strong>of</strong> plagioclase several slip systems271
