Quartz fabric variations across the greenschist facies shear zone separating the Zermatt-Saas and combin ophiolitic zones, Upper Val Gressoney, Western Alps

The Gressoney Shear Zone (GSZ) consists of a ca. 500 m thick, intensely deformed rock panel located at the top of the high-pressure ophiolitic rocks of the Zermatt-Saas Zone in the Western Alps. This greenschist-facies shear zone accommodated multiple non-coaxial deformation events with contrasting...
